Exact same part as OEM Shorelander keel roller. You will have to replace the inner sleeve, but old sleeve can be tapped out using a deep socket and reused as long as it's not damaged. A little dish soap inside the roller and the outside of the sleeve and it can be pushed in by hand and reused.

The rollers were an exact replacement of my old ones and easy to install. Getting the old ones off took some effort for sure. I used all new hardware which made the replacement easier. Would definitely purchase these again.

these rubber rollers are much as you would expect by the photo, but
don't order your axle material before you get the rollers, because
the hole may not be 5/8's as advertised, mine were nearly 3/4's.
I used 14 of these, and built a wooden boat ramp......turned out
great! I would use these again.

I have a 12 foot V hull aluminum fishing boat.
I bought the boat and trailer at a great discount. Now I’m trying to fix up the trailer to make it fully functional. These bunk rollers work perfectly as stated. The bow stop was very simple to install and it does exactly what it supposed to do.
The products are very well-built. They fit my trailer exactly. Shipping was prompt, communication was excellent.
I have not launch my boat yet as I have other projects to do but I am convinced it will launch and retrieve very easily due to the new rollers and now stop!

eTrailer had the right size and type of roller, that I couldn't find at a lot of other Boat sites. Price was right, ordering was easy and shipment was quick. Received in 4 days. I also liked the video review, that makes sure it's the product as described. I ordered one from my local boat dealer, before this I ordered one . The catalog show the V roller, but sent a spool roller instead. Hats off to eTrailer!

Etrailer.com was spot on with the part I ordered. It was the perfect retro fit for my trailer. I will keep them as my go-to supplier. Even though this part is small, we all know how important this roller keel is. Tough, solid and a perfectly defined measurements.

I have a Livingston boat, it is a catamaran hull but only 10 ft. to big for car topping so have to make a trailer for it. I have used these rollers in the past in Ak. and worked very well in all types of weather, including the cold.

Not a thing wrong with the product, just hard to rate something as simple as a roller higher. I will say that etrailer performed as advertised, quickly and and with very competitive shipping rates.

Nice heavy product. Helps keep the our 14 Aluma craft in the center of the trailer better than the wobble roller.

Works well but is wearing. I am happy with it . I launch the boat about once a week all year long. When I need another one (maybe a year from now) I will get the clear, hard rubber roller and see if it lasts longer. It always pays to spend a little more on any part for a boat you use a lot.

Etrailer, does not mess around when it comes to the quality of its products, shipping and personal help with all the orders I have purchased from them. It would be hard to find a company that could be any better.
Thanks for everything.

Current rollers have been in service on drive on trailer for ten years and starting to show a little wear. Yates makes a good product and it was a pleasure to do business on line with etrailer. Will recommend to anyone.

- What Roller will Replace My Yates Roller with 523727 on it? It Measures 5" Long and has 5/8" HoleHello Joe, Thanks for writing in. I wasn't able to find a current Yates part number that cross-references to 523727. Based on the dimensions you provided, though, it sounds like you have a 5-inch spool roller with a 5/8-inch shaft. If that's the case, I'd recommend the Yates V Keel Roller for Boat Trailers - Super-Heavy-Duty Rubber - 5" Long - 5/8" Shaft # YR5213-5. It matches the dimensions you provided, so it should fit your existing bracket and shaft while continuing to properly support...
view full answer... - What is the Diameter of the Yates V Keel Roller for Boat Trailers YR5213-5?Hey Gene. The Yates V Keel Roller for Boat Trailers item # YR5213-5 measures 3" in diameter at its widest points. It fits 5" long brackets with a 5/8" shaft. What kind of boat do you have?
view full answer... - Replacement Rollers For 1965 Vintage Boat TrailerWe 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....

- Availability of 7-1/2-inch-long V-Shaped Replacement Keel Roller for Boat TrailerMy contact at Yates Rubber advises that a nominal 8-inch keel roller does not measure exactly 8 inches; typically they are slightly smaller than the specified size, much the way a piece of 2 x 4 lumber is not exactly 2-inches by 4-inches. I took measurements of several replacement rollers and confirmed that the 8-inch size generally measures 7-5/16 (just the roller itself) and 7-3/4 inches including the nylon bushings on each end. For example, the Dutton-Lainson # DL21712 is a nominal...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out the Correct Diameter Keel Roller for a Boat TrailerIf you are looking to reuse the current roller shafts that you have you will want to first measure the diameter of them so that you get a matching keel roller for that shaft. You also will want to measure the length of the roller so that you get the correct size in that regard as well. The part # YR5213-5 that you referenced is 5 inches long and designed to fit a 5/8 inch shaft. For a 5/8 inch pal nut that will hold the shaft to the bracket you would want the part # CE10801. If you need...
view full answer... - Do The 5" Yates Keel Rollers Have Bushings Or Sleeves? The Yates V Keel Roller # YR5213-5 does not have any bushings or sleeves. To get the bushings you would need the wider 5-3/8" Keel Roller # YR5244-105EC. We do have the PVC Keel Roller # CE29516 that is more durable than a rubber roller and will not mark up your keel. I recommend getting a new Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts # CE10722A if yours is showing signs of corrosion or wear.
view full answer... - Replacement for Keel Roller Marked 5213Based on that part number it sounds like your bow roller is the Yates Keel Roller. We have two different options based on the diameter of your shaft. If you have a 5/8" shaft you need the # YR5213-5 and for a 1/2" shaft the # YR5213-4P. Both have a 5" length and a 3" diameter.
view full answer... - Replacement Bow Roller for 5/8 inch ShaftI have a few different options for you. The Rubber Endcap # YR134-5 that you mentioned can be used with keel rollers, spool rollers, or bow rollers. If you are wanting to stick with a bow roller, We do have a Bow Roller Assembly # YR450B-400B available that comes with a 1/2 inch shaft. This will eliminate the need to find a bow roller with a bigger shaft hole. I did go out to the warehouse to see with it was possibly that a 5/8 inch shank could fit in a bow roller that has a 1/2 inch hole...

- Determining The Correct Replacement Keel Roller For 2018 Tige RZX3I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement keel roller for your 2018 Tige RZX3, but you will need to measure the length of your current keel roller, and the diameter of the shaft it uses. For example the Yates V Keel Roller for Boat Trailers - Super-Heavy-Duty Rubber # YR5213-5 you were looking at is 5" long and uses a 5/8" shaft. If this matches your current keel roller this would be a great replacement option. If not let me know the above information and I would be happy...

view full answer... - Load Capacity of the Yates 8-Inch Keel Roller # YR8000I spoke with my contact at Yates on the Yates 8-Inch Keel Roller, part # YR8000, and he said the load capacity on the roller is 400 lbs. The keel rollers on a boat trailer are for positioning the boat on the trailer and do not have to carry much, if any weight of the boat. I am including a link to a video review on the Yates keel roller.
view full answer... - Keel Rollers for a 1991 Caulkins Boat Trailer that Will Not Corrode from the InsideA keel roller such as # YR5213-5 would work well for you since it does not have a metal sleeve inside. For the best corrosion resistance you would use stainless steel shafts to hold the rollers to their brackets. That can get expensive. We currently offer a zinc-plated steel shaft for this roller, # CE10722A, which is going to be in between regular steel and stainless as far as corrosion resistance. We also have roller # YR5244-105EC which uses nylon bushings instead of a steel sleeve....
view full answer... - 5 inch Keel Roller Bracket Recommendation for a Boat TrailerThe CE Smith Panel Bracket for 5" Boat Trailer Rollers # CE10301G is designed to be mounted on the side of a trailer frame like the bent bracket in the picture you attached. If you look at the bracket you will see that the portion that holds the roller extends up above the top of the portion of the bracket that would attach to the trailer frame. Also, I checked your order notes and you previously ordered the Yates V Keel Roller # YR5213-5 which would work well with the # C10301G. If I...

- Replacement for a 4-1/2" Long Keel Roller on a Boat TrailerThe 4-1/2" keel roller is a size commonly found in Australia. You might consider switching to the 5" Keel Roller Assembly # CE10401G so that you will be able to find parts more easily find a replacement Roller # YR5213-5 in the future.
