CE Smith Boat Trailer Roller Shaft 10705A, Zinc Plated, 1/2 Inch x 12-3/4 Inch

The CE Smith 10705A Boat Trailer Roller Shaft is a zinc-plated replacement shaft built to carry boat trailer rollers and keep them turning smoothly through repeated launch-and-load cycles. Zinc plating gives the shaft added resistance to rust and corrosion in wet, salt-exposed trailer environments, extending its service life over an unplated shaft. The shaft measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 12-3/4 inches long, sized to fit standard boat trailer roller assemblies that use a 1/2 inch shaft. It ships complete with two 1/2 inch cap nuts, so no separate hardware purchase is needed to finish the installation. Replacing a worn, bent, or rusted roller shaft with the CE Smith 10705A restores proper roller rotation, which protects the boat hull from drag and scuffing during trailering. Installation is straightforward: remove the old shaft and rollers, slide the new 10705A shaft through the roller and bracket, and secure it with the included cap nuts. This part is intended as a like-for-like replacement shaft for boat and fishing trailers using 1/2 inch diameter roller shafts, and it is manufactured by CE Smith, a longtime supplier of boat trailer rollers, brackets, guide-ons, hubs, and related hardware.
