On the shaft of your LoadRite boat trailer you will want to measure the diameter of the shaft at the widest point, which is probably the top to bottom of the curved part of the shaft.

It should measure 1-1/8 inches for the Yates TPR Ribbed Wobble Roller, part # YR500YW-9P, to fit.

If you have access to a roller that was on the shaft of the LoadRite boat trailer you will want to measure the diameter of the center hole of the roller and the width and diameter of the roller to help determine what size you will need.
