CE Smith 16870 Trailer Cross Member Pad, Edge Cover Style, 10 x 1-1/2 Inch Black Poly Keel Pad

The CE Smith 16870 Trailer Cross Member Pad is an edge cover style keel pad designed to cushion your boat trailer's cross members and protect your boat's keel during loading, transit, and storage. It mounts on the trailing edge of any width cross member or axle, making it a versatile fit across a wide range of trailer configurations rather than being limited to one specific frame size.

The pad is made of black poly material, chosen for its durability and cushioning properties in marine trailer applications. It measures 10 inches long by 1-1/2 inches wide and is 3/8 inch thick, with 4-1/2 inch hole centers for mounting. Installation is straightforward: the pad mounts to the cross member or axle using two rivets or screws driven through the top. Mounting hardware is not included, so rivets or screws should be sourced separately based on your cross member material and thickness.

This pad is a simple, functional accessory for trailer owners looking to add or replace keel protection at a specific point on the trailer frame, reducing the risk of scuffing, denting, or gouging the boat hull where it rests against the cross member.
