Specs:
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.

New to boating; having rebuilt trailer which came with my boat, performs as expected without considerations.
Looks like it will work, but differently than I hoped for. One thing I wished I knew was the dimension from the bottom of the plate to the top of the roller, while the plate was laid flat with roller up. I wanted to mount it this way, but it was 1/2 inch too high for me to mount it that way. I had to mount it vertically on the trailer to make it work. Adding this dimension to the product might help someone else out in the future.
Exactly as described, the etrailer folks were out of the black rubber model and I think they let me substitute the yellow TPR model for the same cost. Delivered within just a couple days of being ordered.
The rollers are great. My problem was the boat was on the trailer when I installed the rollers.
Heavy duty, galvanized, rolls freely. Excellent quality
Etrailer came thru for me in a timely and professional manner whereas west marines feminist employee screwed me over because I'm an old white guy. Bye bye west marine and Hello Etrailer!
Yes I received my order from e trailer. It was well packaged and was a prompt delivery. I mounted my new boat trailer roller on my trailer and what a difference. Now I can crank my boat up on the trailer without even touching the boat. Once the boat makes contact with the roller mounted in center rear most cross bar the boat begins rising up until its high enough to slide onto the bunks and up to the winch. It centers it's self every time and sure makes life easier. Now I can go fishing and handle loading and unloading the boat without help. I will be doing a lot more fishing from now on. Thanks for offering such excellent products on line and shipping to my front door.
I added 3 sets of these to my trailer to keep my keep keel from making any contact with my transverse beams on my trailer. After a year they're still doing the job and look brand new. I fresh water rinse them thoroughly at the end of the day and they've required no other maintenance. Don't forget to buy a high quality set of non ferrous hardware with nylocks to secure them. Happy customer right here.
good quality
Products were exactly as described. Shipping was next day. Couldn't ask for better service. Needed one Deep V Keel Roller to determine if it would work as a replacement for a completely different style roller. Having determined it will work, I have now placed an order for a second one. Definitely would recommend etrailer to others.
Very sturdy and well built. I replaced the skinny keel skid on my Shorelandr trailer with this 8 inch roller. I also added roll on guides to help center the boat.
The bow roller gets minimal use during launching and hauling, compared to the bottom rollers. So far so good. Time will tell. Thanks.
I put these on my trailer and they centered the boat nicely. Slots are 6 in. apart and can take up to 1/2 in screws. The shipping was very fast and always has been with etrailer.com.
Scott G - 07/19/2015Purchased roller assemblies and guide on posts for boat trailer. Arrived quickly and were exactly as described. Great seller!
Rick - 05/29/2017Very high quality products and made in the USA will buy from etrailer again.
The website is very helpful and well thought out. I liked the video descriptions of your products - especially the measurements which was very helpful in ordering the correct size. The V Keel Roller Assembly that I purchased is extremely sturdy and worth the price. My plans for using it are a bit unconventional - I am attaching it to the rear of my car Kayak rack to facilitate rolling my Kayak onto the carrier by myself. Buying the parts I needed from the rack company would have been four times what I paid for the Roller Assembly from etrailer.com.
I installed this roller atop a 1x6 plank across the forward part of my trailer to provide more support to the bow of my 20' sailboat. The arrangement turned out better than expected as the boat now rolls easily on and off the trailer with no more heavy lifting for me.
Really Awesome. Well built. Should last for years. I have been using etrailer.com for years. They have treated me well and exceed all expectations! I will continue to use them for all my trailer needs.
Great replacement for my boat trailer, fitment was easy...
I have modified my 12x6.5 trailer to haul my catamaran. These rollers allow me to safely and easily load my Cat and secure it in place. Easy rolling and no wear on the hulls. Highly recommend these roolers for boat trailers.
Just as advertised boat rolls over easy
Well built, quality. I would highly recommend etrailer.
James - 03/27/2020Product was received in outstanding condition, products description was accurate. Overall experience with etrailer was exceptional. I would recommend etrailer to my friends and family.
Keel rollers were good quality
Mark, at etrailer, was very helpful when I needed to change my order. The product shipped exactly when he said it would. When the roller arrived it looked just as it was pictured on-line . . . heavy duty.
