Today we're going to review part #yr5213-5. This is a Yates V keel roller for boat trailers. This part is constructed of a heavy duty rubber. This will replace one of your keel rollers on your boat trailer. This keel roller will ease the loading and unloading of the boat and it does support the bottom of the boat as it sits on the trailer and the V shape on the roller does offer extra support for the deep hull boats. This roller will also help absorb road shock while the boats being towed.
This part is made in the USA. We're going to do a few dimensions on it. The overall length of this is 5 inches and the diameter is 3 inches. This keel roller is designed to fit on a 5 inch wide bracket with a 5/8 inch diameter shaft. And that should do it for part #yr5213-5.
Great roller
The roller works great but was not happy with how it was shipped. Left company by UPS and arrived into our city on Friday morning. That afternoon UPS delivered to our local post office instead of delivering directly to my house. Had to wait till Saturday afternoon before roller was received when it could have stayed on the UPS and been here Friday afternoon instead.
Product was exactly what I needed and I received it within a few days. I will order from etrailer.com again any time I need a part for my trailer or truck.
High quality, just clean and rinse with a little oil after each boat dock, they will last forever, just corn or vegetable oil. Natural oils only. Navy Trick!
I shopped around and these were not made the cheapest, but were about $5.00 less than what stores sold them for in my city. They are installed on my boat trailer, but have not seen any use yet.
It was delivered within four days of ordering! Exactly what we needed, and the customer service was above and beyond. We will definitely be ordering from this company in the future. I highlyrecommend this company to anybody looking for trailer parts.
Exactly what I was looking for at a decent price. Thanks once again to etrailer.com
Good product. I got it together with the roller shat and the brackets.
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.
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.
Fast shipping, works as it should. Off the delivery truck & in place in 10min
As discribed. Fast shipping!
Perfect as described, fast shipping, best price found online. The 3 on my trailer were broke apart, I bought all three here, and shipping was combined, very fair. Got pal push clips off with hi spd grinder.

they are still working as new . Good replacement product !
They work perfectly, My old ones I had to push hard to get the boat off the trailer, Now it rolls right off
received good service from these guys for years
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!
Good solid roller at a reasonable price. Excellent service from etrailer when the order got confused.

Good quality, durable. Very satisfied.
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.
Works good as the first roller the bow/keel contacts to center the boat on the trailer for recovery.
Nice heavy product. Helps keep the our 14 Aluma craft in the center of the trailer better than the wobble roller.
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.
I needed a 5" bow roller for my power boat I could not find one with a 5/8 " diameter shaft At conventional marine supply houses. I found this on at an excellent price on etrailer.com
