Question:
Hi, Im looking for a rubber or plastic roller for my trailer. Existing is a Stoltz RP8. My hull doesnt quite touch the roller. Im looking for roller that is approx 3 in diameter in the center of the roller. Do you also have one with a 3.5 diameter at center of roller? Existing has a 5/8 diameter center shaft. Thank you!

Hello Darrin, thanks for reaching out. For our rollers that fit a 5/8" shaft I am not seeing that we have anything with exactly a 3" or 3.5" diameter in the center. I do have a potential option for you though. Take a look at the Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers # YR5244-105EC. This roller is 5-3/8" long. The middle is about 2-3/4" diameter and the tallest part is 3-3/8" diameter. It will work with the 5/8" shaft. This would be the closest we have to what you are looking for.
That or the Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller # YR530R-5P which is a 3" wide 5" diameter plastic roller for a 5/8" shaft.
The link below will show you our full selection of rollers for a 5/8" shaft.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
