Question:
My Caulkins trailer has four sets of two keel rollers set approx 12inch apart per bracket. If I was to convert to the self centering keel rollers, what would be your recommendation quantity needed and install location. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Usually you only use one CE Smith Keel Roller for Boat Trailers # CE29505 at the front of the trailer to guide the front to the center of the trailer whereas the bunks do the bulk of the support and guiding of the boat as it's put on the trailer. If you wanted to use more than one you certainly could but maybe just two on the front two crossmembers.
