Loading and unloading your boat shouldn't be a hassle. The Yates V Keel Roller boasts a smart V-shaped design that offers extra support for deeper hulls, ensuring a smooth launching experience. This shape conveniently guides your boat onto the trailer, reducing manual adjustments and stress during the process.
While some keel rollers can't withstand the wear from frequent trailer use, the super-heavy-duty rubber construction of this roller can. Designed to absorb road shocks and withstand the rigors of towing, this roller ensures your boat enjoys a smooth ride on the trailer. Built to last, it's a robust solution for protecting your boat during transportation.
Finding the perfect-sized components for your trailer shouldn't be difficult. With its 5-inch length and compatibility with a 1/2-inch diameter shaft, this keel roller seamlessly fits most standard 5" wide brackets. This makes it an ideal replacement for worn-out rollers without the hassle of modifications, providing a straightforward upgrade to your current setup.
When quality counts, look to products made with precision. Manufactured in the USA, this keel roller delivers on durability and performance. Built with reliable craftsmanship, it’s a choice you can trust for long-lasting use on your boat trailer.
Keeping your boat secure on your trailer is crucial for safe travels. With a 3-inch diameter, this keel roller provides optimal contact and support, stabilizing your boat as it rests on the trailer. This enhanced stability means less worry about shifting or damage during transport, so you can focus on enjoying your boating adventures.

Today were going to review part number YR5213-4P. This is the Yates V Keel Roller for boat trailers. Youll want to replace the worn out roller on your boat trailer with this large diameter heavy duty rubber one. This V shaped Keel Roller functions as a direct replacement for rollers that fit standard 5-inch wide brackets with a 1/2-inch diameter shaft. This part will replace one keel roller on your boat trailer. It will help ease the loading and loading of the boat and it does support the bottom of the boat as it sits on the trailer.
The V shape offers extra support for deep holes. This will also help to absorb road shock while the boat is being towed. This part is constructed of a heavy duty rubber. It is made in the USA. I just want to give you a measurement on this.
This is a 5-inch long by 3-inch diameter roller. It does fit on a 5-inch wide bracket that uses a 1/2-inch diameter shaft. That should do it for a review on part number YR5213-4P.
Exactly as described and great service!
At the time of this writing there is no picture of this roller on this site. I had to basically use the same part in a 5/8 shaft version as a guide for what it looked like and hope I was right, and I was. This is a black, heavy duty rubber roller with a mild taper toward the center. It helps center the boat as it rolls onto the trailer and is extremely tough. I expect this to last a very long time, even with the aluminum V bottom boat that I have that is very tough on rollers.
The rollers work great. This is a direct replacement on a 29 year old trailer. Boat is a catamaran and the back 2 rollers are the ones I am replacing. When going off and on the trailer the back 2 rollers take the weight of the entire boat and after 29 years they still functioned but the inside diameter was ovaled out. I guess nothing lasts forever.
Great job I love it when I get my order's on time.
I am refurbishing an old trailer and need this item. It is exactly the piece I needed to replace. The item was shipped and arrived very fast and I was kept informed of the whole process in a timely matter. Very impressed
Installation was easy, rollers work very well.
I would do business with this company a gain!
I had a worn keel roller on our 1987 EZ Loader boat trailer. I found this exact replacement at etrailer. Everywhere else I looked had 5/8" shaft size and this one is 1/2" shaft size. Perfect fit. Etrailer communicated well through the whole transaction.

Roller works great after one year. Just wish I could use the boat more. The roller will last years
Works just fine. Just don't tighten the bolt as tight as humanly possible to allow the roller to still turn.
The 5" V keel roller is just what I needed.The price was fair, and the shipping was prompt !!

That stuff I got from you has worked out well and I am 110 satisfied
First time doing business with this vendor. Website was easy to navigate. Product ordered was exactly as advertised and was delivered sooner than expected.
The YR5213=4P Yates V keel roller with 1/2" shaft fit correctly and I installed it without difficulty or assistance on my old EZ Loader boat trailer. I raised my 12' aluminum skiff up off the old roller using a 4X6 X16" block as a fulcrum and a 6' 2X4 as a lever then blocked it up with another piece of 4X6 on the center trailer member under the keel. I haven't tried loading the boat off and on the trailer but I can see no reason why it shouldn't be a big improvement over the worn out cylindrical roller that I replaced.
Fits perfectly !!! Very satisfied with service during and after the sale and thanks for the fast shipping.

Parts are all on the trailer and work just fine. Thanks for the follow up.
I've been looking for a couple of years for a keel roller for a very old boat trailer. Original is rotted away. Finally decided to check with etrailer as I got a good set of LED lights and wiring last week from them. Lo & behold they had the exact replacement in stock & I got it in three days.

Great product. But i am more impressed by the etrailer.com company. From the great customer service to the fast shipping and low prices. Thanks again. I am now able to continue my 1969 starcraft now that i have it on the trailer.
Roller has held up well. Used on a small 16 foot lund where I have to winch the boat on so the roller has a lot of weight on it with the trolling motor and batteries in the bow. No issues though.
Removed old roller and installed new ones, fit like a glove. Seems to be better quality then original equipment.
