CE Smith Rubber Spool Roller, 3 In. Diameter x 5 In. Length, 1/2 In. Shaft - Trailer Keel Roller 29523

The CE Smith 29523 is a rubber spool roller built for boat trailers, sized at 3 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length with a 1/2 inch shaft. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment rollers found on many trailers, making it a straightforward swap when a roller wears out, cracks, or flattens from age and UV exposure. The roller body is made of rubber, which provides cushioning and grip as the boat hull slides into position during loading and retrieval, helping to protect the hull finish while supporting the keel line.

This spool roller is built to fit standard trailer brackets that accept a 1/2 inch shaft, so it drops into place on compatible bracket setups without modification. Because it matches common original-equipment dimensions, it is a practical choice for routine maintenance and roller replacement on trailers using this size and shaft configuration. Keeping rollers in good condition reduces drag on the hull and helps the boat track smoothly onto the trailer bunks or keel rollers during launch and retrieval.
