Question:
Good Afternoon, I just had a question about boat trailer wobble roller replacement options. I currently have the Yates 343R Rollers on my trailer that are 4 3/8 diameter, 3 width, and a 5/8 shaft. Would it be possible to replace these rollers with ones that are 5 in diameter as long as the width and the shaft size are the same? Please get back to me at your earliest convenience and let me know. Thank you!

Hey Jonathan, there's no reason you couldn't go to a larger diameter wobble roller like the Yates part # YR500YW-5P which is the 5 inch diameter and is designed for same shaft diameter of 5/8 inch like you mentioned. How come you are wanting the larger size?
The part # YR500YW-5P I referenced is non-marking too so you won't get a bunch of black marks on your boat.

Hey Jonathan, did the larger 5-inch wobble roller work out for your trailer? I'm curious because it could help others make a decision when considering size changes.
