CE Smith 10453G Galvanized 8 Inch Panel Bracket Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers

The CE Smith 10453G Panel Bracket Assembly is a complete, pre-assembled trailer roller bracket built to support a boat's hull as it is loaded, transported, and launched. The bracket is constructed of 11-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel, which resists rust and corrosion in marine environments while six gussets built into the bends add extra strength at the load-bearing points. The assembly comes with a pre-assembled 5/8 inch roller shaft and an 8 inch spoon roller made of thermal plasticized rubber (TPR), which cushions the hull and helps prevent scratches and dings during loading.

Adjustment is built into the design: the bracket has 1/2 inch by 5 inch mounting slots so it can be angled to match the specific slope of your boat's hull bottom, and the mounting slots are spaced 6 inches on center. The bracket bolts directly to the trailer frame using 1/2 inch or 7/16 inch fasteners (not included), making it straightforward to install or replace an existing bracket. This assembly is designed for use with panel-style trailer setups and is compatible with bolster bracket configurations that use an 8 inch roller.
