Measurement of Deep V Keel Roller Assembly

Typically installed upright on the rear and middle crossmembers of a boat trailer, keel roller panel bracket assemblies help to keep the boat moving while it is being loaded and to stabilize the keel.


Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

  • Is the 10 Inch Boat Roller Actually 10 Inches? I Need to Replace Mine that is 9 1/2 Inches
    Hello Brian, Great question. The roller that you asked about, the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber - 8" # CE10403G the roller itself is 7 5/16". If you are looking just to replace the roller and do not need the bracket, the Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers - Heavy-Duty Rubber - 10" Long - 5/8" Shaft # YR10000 is actually 9 5/16" so it will fit in a 10" bracket. I went out to the warehouse to get the measurement myself, the information...

  • Replacement Keel Roller for my Calkins Boat Trailer
    I have a couple of solutions but the sizes aren't exactly what you're after. I instead recommend using the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers part # CE10405G to replace the 11.5" roller you currently have. This will allow for adjusting it to match your boats hull. Use CE Smith U-Bolts part # CE15283GA-2 if your hardware is missing or damaged. For the 7.5" use the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers part # CE10403G with the same hardware as mentioned...

  • Recommended Keel Roller For Best Weight Capacity on Boat Trailer
    The Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers - Super-Heavy-Duty Rubber - 18" Long - 5/8" Shaft # YR18244-165EC is not weight rated. The weight of the boat will actually be on the bracket and the 5/8 inch shaft that runs through the heavy-duty roller. Your application with the front weight the roller is more likely to bend the longer you make the roller. For instance the 18 inch roller along with the brackets # CE10500G and Roller Shaft w/Cap Nuts 19" x 5/8" # 107-30A will be more likely...

  • Height of CE10403G Keel Roller
    We pulled the # CE10403G from stock and took the measurement shown in your photo, which was 8-3/4 inches. I've also shown some other relevant dimensions.

  • Replacement Roller Assembly for Deep-V Style Boat Trailer
    If you just want to replace the roller assembly you have now then the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10401G is what I recommend. However, if you are having trouble aligning with the roller then you might want to consider a larger roller assembly like the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10403G which is 8" wide. These options will both work great with your deep v style hull. In order to attach either option you can reuse the mounting hardware that you have now.

  • Boat Trailer Roller Brackets and Pal Nuts
    Most boat trailer bow and keel rollers do use pal nuts like # CE10801 to secure the rubber roller to the support shaft and mounting bracket. From your photo I cannot tell quite what type of set-up you have. Since most of our rollers use galvanized mounts like # CE10403G and the others shown on the other linked page it may be easier and safer to install a new roller bracket.

  • Availability of 7-1/2-inch-long V-Shaped Replacement Keel Roller for Boat Trailer
    My contact at Yates Rubber advises that a nominal 8-inch keel roller does not measure exactly 8 inches; typically they are slightly smaller than the specified size, much the way a piece of 2 x 4 lumber is not exactly 2-inches by 4-inches. I took measurements of several replacement rollers and confirmed that the 8-inch size generally measures 7-5/16 (just the roller itself) and 7-3/4 inches including the nylon bushings on each end. For example, the Dutton-Lainson # DL21712 is a nominal...

  • Option to Replace 7-1/2 Inch Keel Roller
    The actual roller itself is not 8 inches, so even though that's in the product title, it's generally a bit shorter overall. And while we don't offer any with a 3/4" diameter shaft, you may be able to use an entire assembly: - CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber # CE10403G I have added a diagram for you showing the dimensions of the # CE10403G, so you can see the actual size of the roller. This would be the closest option we offer for...

  • Bunk Brackets and Keel Rollers for Magic Tilt Boat Trailer
    We do have bunk brackets and keel rollers that you can use with your Magic Tilt boat trailer, though not that size leaf spring. For the brackets you only need to choose the size you want: - 9 Inches: CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 - 11 Inches: CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 - 13 Inches: CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10002G-4 With each of these brackets you can attach them with CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.

  • Can CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Carry Weight of Heavier Boat
    The rubber keel roller # CE10403G does not have a weight capacity though it is designed to support the added weight of heavier boats. At any given time, it is not likely that any one roller will have to support the entire weight of the boat so it is not really a concern. If you are having an issue with these rollers breaking it could be possible that your bunks aren't supporting enough of the boat's weight.

  • Diameter Of Keel Roller Included In CE Smith Keel Roller Assembly CE10403G
    I had our warehouse measure the diameter of the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber - 8" # CE10403G and found it is 3-1/4" at the widest point, 2-3/8" right before the center flat area, and 2-1/4" in the center flat area as shown in the included diagram. I also included a video of the # CE10403G for you to take a look at.

  • Replacement Surge Actuator, Brake Line, V Roller, and Roller Bunks for 85 Magic Tilt Trailer
    Hey Mike, so lets start first with an actuator to replace your coupler. For that the Demco part # DM72VR would be a great option that has as easy to use latch and was designed for drum brakes and a 2 inch hitch ball. It sounds like the brake line was cut right at the back of the actuator so for a replacement for that you'd want the part # DM02032. If you needed a complete replacement brake line kit we have the part # 18SI-BLKIT that you referenced. To do new wheel cylinders on the brake...

  • Does CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller CE10403G Have a Weight Capacity
    The rubber keel roller # CE10403G does not have a weight capacity though it is designed to support the added weight of heavier boats. At any given time, it is not likely that any one roller will have to support the entire weight of the boat so it is not really a concern. If you are replacing a roller then the key is to get one that is the same size as the previous roller.

  • What Do Keel Rollers Fit Onto on Boat Trailer
    Keel rollers like the part # CE10403G that you referenced fit on a shaft that has pal nuts on either end of it. The part # CE10705A is an example of a shaft with the pal nuts. This is a shaft that is 12-3/4 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. Pal nuts basically are a friction fit that get tapped onto the end of the shaft.

  • 8 inch Keel Roller and Bracket Recommendation
    Sounds like you are looking for the part # CE10403G. The slotted mounting holes would allow it to be mounted at various heights to match what your trailer needs. The slots of the bracket are 6 inches apart as well. I attached a review video for the roller for you to check out as well.

  • Keel Roller Assembly Similar to a Roller Bunk
    Though we have roller bunks like # DL21741 and a Deep V Keel Roller Assemblies such as the 8" # CE10403G and 12" # CE10455G, we do not carry what would amount to a combination of the two. We also carry Keel Roller Assemblies that attach to either 2" trailer tongues # CE32005G or 3" trailer tongues # CE32003G. I've attached links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at.

  • Replacement Keel Rollers for 1959 OB-70A Boat Trailer
    Thanks for the pictures! I have a couple of options for you to replace the keel rollers on your 1959 OB-70A Tee Nee trailer. The Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers item # YR8244-105EC are 8" long and work with a 5/8" Shaft. If you are able to reuse your current bolts or replace them you will also need the Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts for Boat Trailer Rollers item # CE10725A.

  • Keel Roller for 1975 Wellcraft V20 Boat Trailer
    For the crossmembers the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10403G would work really well. It's pretty common to use one of these on each crossmember so it would work pretty well. Then for U-bolts you'd want the part # CE15283GA-4.

  • Would Dutton-Lainson DL21741 Roller Bunks Contact Keel of Boat
    The # DL21741 Deluxe Roller Bunk would bolt to the bunk boards, which are designed to support the sides of the boat, not the keel. Therefore, the aft portion of the bunk rollers wouldn't contact the boat's keel. A series of keel rollers like # CE10403G would be used to support the keel.
