  • Replacement Rollers For 1965 Vintage Boat Trailer
    We do have some of the replacement rollers that will work for your vintage 1965 boat trailer, but we do not have some of the rollers you asked about. Thank you for the dimensions. For the very front keel roller I recommend part # YR5213-5. This measures 5 inches long and works with a 5/8 inch diameter shaft. The three center rollers I recommend are part # YR5203-5. These are also 5 inches long and fit a 5/8 inch shaft. We do offer bunk rollers and you can take a look at part # DL21754....

  • Ark Self-Aligning Boat Trailer Ezi-Guides # AR74FR Roller Lengths
    The Ark Ezi-Guides Self-Aligning Boat Trailer Loading System # AR74FR has an overall length of 15" with both rollers and brackets. The Long Roller is 12" in length and the end roller is 2" in length. For a 24" roller you would need to have some custom made brackets, roller shafts and use 2 Yates Side Guide Rollers # YR12243-5.

  • Replacement Rollers for a Catamaran Trailer
    I have exactly what you need to replace the side guide rollers on your Catamaran Trailer. For this, I recommend the Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers part # YR12243-5. This roller is 12" long x 2-1/2" diameter and has a 5/8" shaft. Since your rollers are 6" long then you would need to cut the above in half as we do not have any 6" long side guide rollers. The rollers are constructed of a heavy duty rubber and are made right here in the U.S.A.

  • Parts to Mount 12" Roller Guide
    We have the Yates # YR12243-5 side guide roller measuring 12" long with a 5/8" shaft. We also have the CE Smith # CE10305G Panel Bracket for 12" Boat Trailer Rollers in Galvanized Steel. For roller shafts we have the closest we have is CE Smith # CE10727A measuring 13" X 5/8" shaft, in zinc plated steel.

  • Parts Needed to Replace 12 x 2-1/2 Inch Rollers on Boat Trailer
    You may be able to use the 12-3/4" x 1/2" Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts # CE10705A with the Yates Side Guide Roller 12" Long - 1/2" Shaft # YR12243-4P, but it won't give you much space to work with. A better option is to use the Yates Side Guide Roller 12" Long # YR12243-5 instead, which uses a 5/8" shaft, along with bracket # 408300, shaft and pal nuts # CE10727A. We don't carry a 1/2" shaft kit that is longer than 12-3/4". The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE15283GA-4, that you were looking at,...

  • Can the Yates Side Guide Roller # YR12243-5 be Cut for a Specific Length
    Currently the roller that we have that has a 2 inch diameter is the CE Smith Side Guide Roller # CE29562, but it is for a 1/2" shaft so it is not compatible for your setup. I spoke with my contact at Yates and he said that the Side Guide Roller # YR12243-5 that you mentioned can indeed be cut to fit your specifications and that it is done all of the time. The most effective tool to use is a radial saw.

  • Is Yates Side Guide Roller # YR12243-5 Non-Marking Rubber
    I wish I could say that it was non-marking, but the # YR12243-5 is the black rubber that can leave markes. The non-marking styles will be a tan or blue color.

  • 12 Inch Guide Roller Recommendation for a Boat Trailer that Has a Bushing
    The Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers # YR12243-5 does not have a bushing installed on the inside of the roller. For basically the same roller that does have a plastic bushing on the inside of it you would want the part # YR12243-4P instead. The inner diameter of this roller is 1/2 inch instead of 5/8 like the part # YR12243-5.

  • What Size Shaft Does Yates Side Guide Roller # YR12243-5 Fit
    The roller # YR12243-5 that you referenced does not come with a shaft but it was designed to be used with a 5/8 inch diameter shaft like the # CE10727A which comes with pal nuts.

  • 2-1/2 inch Diameter Roller for Boat Trailer Recommendation
    The best option we have would be the part # YR12243-5. You would need to cut the roller down to the length you need, and the shaft hole will be slightly larger at 5/8 inches than what you currently have. But is a roller with a 2-1/2 inch overall thickness.

  • Will Roller part # YR12243-5 Fit on Roller Bracket # CE10305G
    The 12 inch roller part # YR12243-5 that you referenced is designed to fit the CE Smith Panel Bracket # CE10305G. You would just need the roller shaft part # CE10727A which comes with pal nuts and you would be set. There isn't a stainless steel version of this available but this will resist corrosion well since it is galvanized. The roller will spin easily and would work well. This would work well for a roller on a boat trailer for a 500 lb boat. 4-1/4 inches is the distance from the...

  • Does Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers # YR12243-5 Have Bushing/Sleeve
    The Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers # YR12243-5 does not have a bushing or sleeve that runs down the center of the roller. It's made of a heavy duty enough rubber that one is not needed. I attached a review video for more info on this for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers
    We have the Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers that are 9" Long with 1/2" Shaft, # YR9202-4. And the 12" Long - 5/8" Shaft Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers, # YR12243-5. For replacement parts of this type, the roller, roller shafts and caps are sold separately, not as a complete assembly. But you can link to each of the shafts, caps etc. from the roller product page. Please let me know the length needed if one of the above two options does not fit. Or, follow the link...

  • What Type of Saw Can be Used to Trim Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers YR12243-5
    If cutting a rubber roller such as # YR12243-5 I recommend a hack saw with a fine tooth blade. Be sure to measure twice and cut once! Using a vise or a few clamp to hold it steady will help to get a consistent, even cut.

  • Availability of Trailer Roller that is 12 inches Long and 3 inches Diameter
    The closest roller we have to the dimensions you listed is the part # YR1200B. This is 11-3/4 inches in length, fits a 5/8 inch diameter shaft and has a diameter of 3 inches. It's not a total match to what you have but could work well.

  • What is the Center Hole Size for the Yates Boat Trailer Roller # YR12243-5
    The hole size on the Yates boat roller # YR12243-5 would be 0.705 to 0.710 inches based on the few I measured using digital calipers. However, there is always the chance of slight variations, tolerances, for each one of these rollers since rubber can move and flex.

  • What is the Exact Length of the 12 Inch Yates Side Guide Roller # YR12243-5
    I went out to the warehouse and measured a few of the Yates Side Guide Rollers # YR12243-5. They were 11-7/8 inches long so they will work great for a 12 inch bracket such as # 408300. Both the roller and bracket take a 5/8 inch diameter shaft such as # CE10727A.

  • Will the Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers Leave Marks on the Boat
    The Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers part # YR12243-5 isn't non-marring so it can leave scuffs on the side of the boat. That said, these aren't in as much direct contact as keel rollers for example which are offered in non-marring because they can and do have a tendency to leave scuffs on the underside of the boat. We actually don't even offer any non-marring guide rollers for the side of the boat as they don't typically need to be when used here.

  • Availability Of Boat Trailer Roller Made Of Non-Marring Material
    I may have another option for you, but there is nothing like the Yates Side Guide Roller for Boat Trailers - Heavy-Duty Rubber - 12" Long - 5/8" Shaft # YR12243-5 you were looking at available in a non-marring material. The closest option would be the Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller - TPR - 5" Diameter - 5/8" Shaft # YR500YW-5P which installs on the same 5/8" diameter shaft, but you would need to get creative and maybe use a few of them to get the same effect. I included a video of the # YR500YW-5P...
