Video Transcript for Review of CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - Rollers - CES44JR

Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our CE Smith Keel Roller, and it's for boat trailers. It's made of a super heavy-duty rubber, and it's 6 1/2-inches long with a 1/2-inch center shaft. So, folks, this is gonna replace one, quantity one of your keel roller on your boat trailer. It's gonna make ease of loading and unloading of your boat. It supports the bottom of the boat as it sits on the trailer, and the V shape here offers extra support for those deep holes.

This will also help absorb road shock while the boat is being towed. Overall, when everything's pushed together, I was getting a length of 6 1/2-inches long and an end diameter of 5 1/4-inches wide. Well, folks, that will wrap it up for a quick look together at the CE Smith Keel Roller. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.

This roller is still in perfect condition after 6 times unloading and loading 26 foot by 10 foot heavy Stancraft cabin cruiser. Other black rollers disintegrated after one use. Customer Service was excellent. I highly recommend etrailer and CE Smith.
by:
True to size and the visual aspect of the roller,great quality
by:
I Installed yesterday, the day it arrived. It saw its first test today, and it passed the test. My boat was properly aligned with the roller on the bow winch.
by:
good quality and much better than cheap rubber roller from amazon. Also the 5/8" hole was consistent all the way thru and not just fitted with an end bushing like the rubber one which totally failed in the center
by:
I highly recommend etrailer.com as your go to Marine supplier, they are mine !!
Excellent product quality, fast shipping and excellent customer service.

Im extremely happy with the C.E. Smith keel roller I purchased a year ago. After a year I of use it still looks like new. The material used in the roller will not mark up your expensive investment you made in that prize boat you bought. I would recommend replacing ever black rubber roller you have on your trailer with the C.E. Smith rollers and keep your boat looking great !!

by:
Perfect for my new Venture bunk trailer that didn't have a roller. My hull has two tunnels and when loading and unloading it would bottom out occasionally on two bolts on the A frame section of the trailer. The roller now makes that impossible.
One suggestion: when mounting the assembly is not to tighten the upper nut too much or it will make the roller bind up and prevent it from turning.
by:
Heavy duty keel roller assembly. Better than expected!

Still working perfectly, This has kept my boat centered on the trailer.

by:
Installed them, haven't had a chance to try 'em out yet, rebuilding an old trailer that was probably around when Jesus was a child. These rollers look great and I am sure will function just as great... VERY HAPPY WITH THEM. Ordered them and they came faster than the ship date indicated that is always a plus.
by:
I installed it yesterday, the day it arrived. It was used today and it appears to be working very well.
by:
Does what it's supposed to do! I've had mine mounted for over a year of continual use and it works great.

by:

by:
All products are great! Customer service was great! and most importantly we received all items earlier than expected. Great Job!
by:
This self centering roller made loading my boat a breeze. Totally worth it!
by:
Very nice quality product !!! Customer service was awesome as well !!!

I have an '85 trailer which has always been fitted with Atwood rubber rollers. Until the last few years they were fine and then something changed with the durability of the rubber. I was changing rollers every season. Last year I went with CE Smith and I have an entire season of traveling and many launches on them. So far I see only minimal abrasion on the center rollers beneath the keel. They look good and I look forward to them lasting a while. I will most likely buy them again. I give them 4 stars for durability with the possibility of that going to five if they last a couple more seasons.

One year later it is still doing its job supporting the weight of my heavy utility boat, while also making launch and recovery easy.

by:
Happy with the product. Fast shipping. Works great.Not sure how I feel about Pal nuts yet.
by:
Quality product. Changed all rollers on my trailer to Yates rollers and used this setup to create an additional keel roller. Boat moves like it is on a greased skid!! Slick, love the rollers.

I ordered a roller for my boat trailer, and the wrong roller was sent. I called etrailer about it and they immediately sent out the correct part. Excellent service and I highly recommend them.
