Question:
I see you have the 12inch keel rollers in black, yellow and Blue. Currently mine are black but I presume that any one of the above 3 will get the job done. But, what is the projected longevity difference in the 3 ? I launch in salt water and need something that will last in that situation. Thank you

Although the projected longevity is not listed for the keep rollers we offer, if these have the salt water washed off after use, you can expect these to last a long time.
A roller I recommend is the Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers, part # YR12008. This is made of thermal-plasticized rubber which is stronger than rubber and softer than polyurethane.
Another roller I recommend a roller is part # YR12244-125EC. This is a super-heavy-duty Black rubber roller that incliues heavy-duty nylon bushings. This roller has a 5/8-inch diameter shaft and the roller measures 11-3/4 inches long and 3-3/4 inches diameter.
