Great roller



by: Bryan06/05/2012

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.



by: Terry LD08/03/2012

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!



by: Terry R. 07/15/2012

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.



by: Debbie10/03/2025

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.



by: Robert08/06/2025

Exactly what I was looking for at a decent price. Thanks once again to etrailer.com

No problem works great.



by: wayne r.10/16/2014

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.



by: Jeff09/19/2023

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.



by: Jamey 01/09/2025

As discribed. Fast shipping!



by: Greg08/03/2023

Fast shipping, works as it should. Off the delivery truck & in place in 10min



by: Robert 07/31/2024

They work perfectly, My old ones I had to push hard to get the boat off the trailer, Now it rolls right off



by: Chief07/07/2013

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 !



by: Steve06/16/2020

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!



by: Captain Billyabe02/13/2014

Good solid roller at a reasonable price. Excellent service from etrailer when the order got confused.

Good quality, durable. Very satisfied.



by: Emmett B08/28/2014

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!



by: Lawrence 07/06/2021

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.



by: Robert05/29/2016

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.



by: Pat Subbert04/11/2019

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



by: Craig06/18/2019

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.



by: elliot 11/04/2024

received good service from these guys for years



by: Warren 08/14/2021

Perfect replacement rollers for a 2003 shoreland'r boat trailer. 15 minutes to remove the old rollers and install the new ones.



by: WayneO01/31/2017

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.

Exactly as described and great service!



by: Floyd N07/09/2012

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.



by: Mike G. 02/26/2017

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.



by: Maria08/26/2023

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

by: Bruce 07/03/2021

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



by: BH01/29/2017

Works just fine. Just don't tighten the bolt as tight as humanly possible to allow the roller to still turn.



by: NorthernMaineGuide07/26/2013

These are nice heavy duty rollers and for the short money that etrailer sells them for I would say great value! I am going to order some more of them!

First time doing business with this vendor. Website was easy to navigate. Product ordered was exactly as advertised and was delivered sooner than expected.



by: Big John10/08/2013

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.



by: Mark05/27/2016

Fits perfectly !!! Very satisfied with service during and after the sale and thanks for the fast shipping.

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.

Works and fits Perfect! I think I needed new ones!!



by: Jason 06/07/2023

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.



by: olob05/18/2014

Removed old roller and installed new ones, fit like a glove. Seems to be better quality then original equipment.

I needed a number of things and found EXACTLY what I needed as my winter garage project is modifying an old trailer to safely accommodate a vintage runabout. Amazing array of products, always top notch quality, great communication, reasonable prices and quick delivery, etrailer.com is the one-stop of trailer parts and many other essential products. I'm a fan.



by: Nicholas03/29/2013

Recieved keel roller from etrailer quickly through the mail. This keel roller is exactly as described and I am happy with the product I recieved. Thanks



by: Joe S.08/14/2017

Hello all, I ordered new boat trailer rollers... Great products and quick shipping



by: David06/05/2022

The part I was looking for was a common keel roller. So many other sites didn't have what I was looking for, or they were very vague in their description. ETrailer was right on point with what I was looking for and had it shipped to me in a couple of days!



by: Richard 10/02/2022

This arrived quickly and has already been installed - due to good info on the dimensions and hardware needed. I highly recommend this vendor for all trailer parts and upgrades.



by: Dennis12/09/2017

The boat rollers I received were exactly as described. Excellent quality. I would have graded the purchase experience at 5 stars if it hadn't been for a minor disagreement which WAS REMEDIED by the extremely friendly and professional contact person that I spoke with.



by: Clark WOLFE06/06/2018

EVERYTHING WAS JUST PERFECT AND SHIPPING TIME WAS EXCELLENT...I WILL DO BUSINESS WITH YOU AGAIN WHEN NEEDED AND WILL TELL ANYONE ELSE TO DO THAT BUSINESS WITH YOU ALSO..THANKS AGAIN FOR THE FAST SERVICES!!!!!!
