This 110×75 mm keel roller is engineered to enhance your trailer’s performance and safeguard your boat during transit. It mounts easily on the trailer’s keel support brackets and provides smooth rolling as the boat is loaded or unloaded. Thanks to its high-quality polymer construction, the roller resists deformation, UV damage, and saltwater corrosion, ensuring a long service life. It comes in two color options – black and white – to suit your preferences and needs. The white roller is non-marking, meaning it won’t leave streaks on your boat’s hull, ideal for light-colored or delicate finishes.
Key uses and recommendations:
-
Universal Compatibility: Suitable for small to medium boat trailers, typically for boats up to around 5–6 m in length. The roller fits standard 17 mm shaft pins and works with common U-brackets and mounting brackets on trailers.
-
Easy Launch and Retrieval: Allows smooth rolling of the keel during boat loading and launching. It reduces the effort required and the risk of hull damage, particularly useful when launching single-handedly.
-
Boat Protection: Distributes the boat’s weight along the keel line and protects the hull from impacts and abrasion during transport. The soft yet sturdy outer layer (PVC or TPE) absorbs shocks and minimizes friction, cushioning the boat’s keel.
-
Marine-Grade Durability: Materials will not corrode or crack under prolonged exposure to water and sun. The roller maintains its shape and performance even after repeated immersion in saltwater and UV radiation exposure.
-
Easy Maintenance: Rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater to remove salt deposits and extend its life. Periodically check the Ø17 mm shaft and mounting bolts to ensure secure attachment. If the roller shows signs of wear or cracking, replace it promptly to maintain optimal boat protection.
