Question:
I noticed this CA82AJ is all one piece, whereas the CA32AJ has 3 separate spinning parts. How do I know which to use?

Hey Dex, they both work the exact same so it'd be a matter of preference. I'd just use what's currently on your trailer, so if you have a single piece roller, I'd go with # CA82AJ. However, the only caveat is that if you have a flat bottom boat, then you're better suited with # CA32AJ.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help in the comments below!
