Where To Install a CE Smith Self Centering Keel Roller
Question:
Im looking to get a self centering keel roller as I have heard they make life so much easier putting boat back on trailer. I have a roller trailer and Im not exactly sure where they mount. My boat is very temperamental about having to perfectly centered. Does the roller and bracket mount to the back trailer or closer up front? I attached pic of back of trailer so you have better idea of what I will need. Thank you

For starters, in order to use the CE Smith Self Centering Keel Roller for Boat Trailers part # CE29505 on your boat trailer you will also need to use the CE Smith Panel Bracket for 12" Boat Trailer Rollers part # CE10305G and the Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts for Boat Trailer Rollers part # CE10727A.
In regards to installation, these will need to be installed towards the stern of the boat, in the center of the trailer. This would be the only place that would allow them to effectively center your boat on the trailer.
