As you are attaching to the 3" x 5" tongue on your boat trailer you will want the CE Smith Keel Roller Assembly # CE32003G. This contains all the mounting hardware you will need.

Thanks . What would be a lower profile this current suggestion or CE10401G? If it’s CE10401G can you suggest proper u-bolts for a 3x5” tongue?

@Bill The Keel Roller # CE10401G slots are 3" on center so they will not fit your 3" wide pole tongue. We do have the Wider Roller # CE10453G which has the slots spaced 6" on center but you would need to add additional material to the pole tongue or drill holes in the bracket. We currently do not carry any U-Bolts large enough for your 3"x5" pole tongue so you would need to source them locally at a hardware store if you go that route.

I do have a solution for you but we don't offer any integrated winch and bow roller setups like the Knot Autoflex. Therefore, you'd have to purchase a winch stand assembly like the CE Smith Winch Stand part #CE31013G which bolts onto the…

The brown wire of trailer wiring is the running light/marker light circuit and the white is ground. So on your setup that has a brown wire that would be where you'd run the marker light circuit to and then the white would get the ground circuit.…
