Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Yates eight-inch long keel roller for boat trailers. Now, this keel roller will replace a worn out or damaged keel roller that's on your boat trailer. And the keel rollers will be placed along the center line of your boat trailer to support the keel of the boat. And these keel rollers are typically mounted into brackets that'll bolt to the trailer's crossmembers.
The keel roller will ease loading and unloading of your boat, helps support the bottom of the boat as it sits on the trailer. And it'll even help absorb road shock while the boat's being towed. This one here is constructed of a TPR material, which stands for thermal-plasticized rubber. It is a non-marking, non-scratching material. It's a lot stronger and more durable than your traditional rubber.
And it is softer and more pliant than polyurethane. This part is made in the USA. Last thing I wanna do is give you some specs on this. Again, the application for this, this fits an eight-inch wide bracket with a 5/8 inch diameter shaft. So, if we do the overall length, and that's gonna be measured from the plastic white portions here to this side, so the overall length is gonna be right at 7 3/4 inches.
Just the roller itself, you can see it's about seven inches. Now, the diameter on this, again, the overall, edge to edge is gonna be 3 1/16 of an inch. The diameter of the white portion, which is the shaft support is gonna be right at 1 3/4 inches. And then the shaft hole is gonna measure right at about 11/16 of an inch. So, it is designed to fit onto a 5/8 inch diameter shaft.
But that should do it for the review on this Yates eight-inch long keel roller for boat trailers..
