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.

A TPR roller like the #YR500YW-6P is going to be better than PVC. PVC is a cheaper product. TPR has the properties and performance of both PVC and rubber while having a higher tensile strength so it is going to be the most durable. I don't have a…

Hey Steve! What kind of boat do you have? The untreated southern yellow pine used in CE Smith bunk boards is one of the best possible options and what I recommend. This is highly resistant to decay and bugs. It also has a high resin content which…
