Replacement Keel Roller Only or Keel Roller with Mounting Bracket
Question:
I need to replace the keel roller on my easy loader trailer. Roller is 1/2 way up, a bit toward bow. I do have self adjusting rollers mounted seperately on each side of the keel roller assembly. boat is 16foot Boston Whaler. Just roller or should I get with bracket ?

Expert Reply:
If your bracket is in good shape, not bent up or corroded then it is perfectly fine to replace just the roller with one of the same size. Roller # YR800Y has a 3-1/2 inch diameter at the widest point, it is 7-3/4 inches long overall, and fits a 5/8 inch diameter shaft.
If you do need or want to also replace the bracket I recommend # CE10453G which is already assembled and ready for install.
It is easiest and best to replace rollers while the boat is off of the trailer. That way you aren't putting additional stress on any other roller or support part of the trailer for an extended period of time.
