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.

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.

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: James 08/27/2021

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 !!

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.

Heavy duty keel roller assembly. Better than expected!

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

by: Parson Tom 08/25/2022

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.

I installed it yesterday, the day it arrived. It was used today and it appears to be working very well.

by: Byrl 09/29/2018 One Year Later

Does what it's supposed to do! I've had mine mounted for over a year of continual use and it works great.

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.

This roller worked for perfect for my utility boat trailer. But even more impressive than the product ppwas the service from etrailer.com. Their communication and shipping speed was excellent. I will definitely be coming back, again.

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: James 07/29/2025

Happy with the product. Fast shipping. Works great.Not sure how I feel about Pal nuts yet.

by: David G. 11/18/2015

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.

Appears to be made with high quality standards.

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.

Perfect.

by: Robert 08/30/2021

The product quality is excellent. My existing keel roller was a half inch wider (this is 4.5 inches) I added two galvanized 5/8 inch washers to the ends (a good idea anyway) and fits very well as a replacement.
