Question:

When I measure my old stern mounted keel roller end to end just the rubber, not including the it measures approximately 11 3/8inch . However, all my research only shows the closest match at 12. Do you sell an 11 3/8inch keel roller?

Expert Reply:

With 12 inch keel rollers, such as # YR12244-125EC for example, they aren't actually 12 inches long. They fit 12 inch wide brackets. Just the rubber part of this roller for example is approximately 11-3/8 inches. Overall it is 11-3/4 inches long. So it is kind of like a 2 x 4 which is neither 2 inches nor 4 inches.

The other option is to replace the roller and mounting bracket together using an assembly such as # CE10455G. I have linked videos of both of these parts for you.
