Specs:
Typically installed flat on the tongue of a boat trailer, this spool roller bracket assembly stabilizes the keel of the boat during trailering.
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.

This roller assembly supports your boat's keel for easy loading and safe transport on your trailer. It features a 4-inch, black rubber spool roller and a galvanized steel bracket that attaches to your trailer's tongue.Great product. I’m happy. Only improvement I would say is to have the drilled hole either a little further apart or and oval shape so adjustments can be made. I just have to expand the holes outward to bolt around my Hobie trailer mast carrier for my winch line. Otherwise great product.
Quality product. I set it up on the rear of my boat trailer to accept the roller end of my transom saver (and as a boat guide for loading/off loading of course). Strong, sturdy roller for the transom saver application (500lb motor). The 4” roller is a perfect width/diameter to guide the boat on/off and hold my Extreme Max transom saver under load. Painted the galvanized bracket to match my trailer...good buy.
I needed a roller on the back of my boat trailer so I could use a different style transom saver. No more bending down to remove a pin, my transom saver slides over the roller now. The roller assembly has done what I need it to do with no problems.
Great service and fast delivery the product was excellent quality
Both products came in today, fast delivery. I ordered a transom saver and a roller to attach to boat trailer. Not exactly sure if the roller will work but tired kneeling down to pin transom saver into place. I had to drill holes into the frame of trailer, hardest thing was finding bolts and nuts that would fit.
Great product, replaced the old rusted brackets, rails and plastic fenders with new galvanized brackets and fenders and beat up rails.
Arrived quickly. Easy install and good Quality.

Roller is as expected. Looked for a better main shaft for this because I don't trust the tap on caps at each end. No luck there yet. I added this to the rear of my new tandem boat trailer to have a place to put my transom saver on. Steel boxed trailer lights next, a under the front spare tire holder, then I will search for a boarding step for the front of the trailer.
Been using two of these rollers on my Kat, one for each hull. When on the trailer you need a roller as the trailer rolls along over bumps the hull goes up and down. The roller action prevents the stop from being ripped off. I also put SS keel guards to protect the fiberglass.
I ordered three of these rollers and they arrived quickly. They are definitely hight quality and made with heavy gauge steel. Although I'm not using them for their intended purpose (trailering), I am using them for easy-access/storage of large wood panels (table tops for when I use my shuffleboard table as a dining table). I recommend these and will return to etrailer.com for and future like needs.
I had a hole drilled in the middle so I could mount it. This should solve the problem.
This worked perfectly for my repair, how every I had a very hard time taking it apart the use the bolt hole on the bracket. It felt like the end caps where machined on, it would be helpful for this item to not be pre-assembly for installation purposes. Other wise a great product.
Product is fine, but I did not realize until I opened the package that the roller was already attached to the bracket, so I had to remove one pal nut to enable me to affix the bracket to the trailer, my error... Next time I shall inquire more before buying. If components were loose it would have been snap to use in my trailer renovation.
The holes on this did not line up with the existing holes on the trailer so I had to drill 2 new ones, which is not a big deal but I would prefer one without any existing holes if I have to put more in it. Other than that exactly what I needed and as far as I can tell it's a well made product and I would buy it again if I needed another one. Shipping through UPS surepost is the the worst, it sat in my town for an additional day for no reason because it had to get transferred to USPS then come to me the next day when I could have just gone to UPS and picked it up and had it.
Great product except the rubber rubbed off on my boat.

This roller was exactly what I needed for my boat trailer and the price was right. Very well pleased with everything about dealing with your company and would buy from you again if and when I had the need.
Eric L - 05/03/2018the bow stops on my Two Place Zieman trailer were not very well made, and had deteriorated to being out of service. I s=installed these on the trailer and was back in business. Worked great and the trailer went back into use. Without these, it would not have been possible. Good deal on a good product.
I was pleased at opening the container at finding the construction weight for the given application - it is sturdy! I was surprised that fastening bolts were not included which requires another store stop before installation can be done. When finished it will take up the slack and do just what I needed.
I general. I was able to build what I needed with the help of the help and advice of the etrailer team.
The roller is exactly what I needed, ordered and received. Delivery was prompt.
