The main difference between CE Smith Keel Roller for Boat Trailers part # CE29518 and Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers part # YR10000 is that the former is non-marring and the latter is not. This means the latter could leave black streaks on the boat hull from contact. The former is made of PVC which is also stronger and more durable than the latter which is made of rubber.
