Question:

It looks like my current keel rollers have a Z 10 number on them. The one in your picture has a Z 5 number. Otherwise the measurements are the same. My boat is a small cruiser 23 foot bayliner about 4600lbs. I assume these are hard enough to hold it. Trailer has the side bunks, Rollers pivot on a single bracket with 5 in the back and 4 in the front bracket. The trailer is a double axel, Calkins make, probably about 1997 year.

Yates keel roller # YR10000 is made of heavy duty rubber so it should be no problem when used with other rollers of the same size for your 4600 pound Bayliner boat. The capacity is going to be based more on the brackets than the rollers though so if the brackets are good then the rollers can handle the weight.

If you do need some brackets you could use # CE32004G.
