CE Smith Keel Roller, 12 Inch Black Rubber, 5/8 Inch Shaft - Boat Trailer Support Roller 29500

The CE Smith Keel Roller (part number 29500) is a replacement support roller designed for the keel section of a boat trailer, where it cradles the hull during launching and loading. Made from black natural rubber, the roller provides a smooth rolling surface that supports the boat's weight while protecting the hull from scuffing and abrasion as it moves along the trailer bunks or frame. It measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter and 11-3/4 inches wide, with a 5/8 inch shaft bore that fits standard trailer roller brackets and shaft sizes used on many small to mid-size boat trailers. This roller is intended as a direct replacement for original-equipment keel rollers that have worn, cracked, or hardened with age and UV exposure, restoring smooth, low-friction contact so the boat glides on and off the trailer without binding or dragging. Installation is straightforward: the worn roller is removed from its shaft and bracket, and the CE Smith 29500 roller is installed in its place using the same shaft and mounting hardware. CE Smith manufactures a full line of trailer parts and accessories, including rollers, brackets, fenders, and bearings, for the boat trailer aftermarket.
