Tie Down Engineering Boat Trailer Roller Shaft with Cap Nuts, 1/2 in. X 6-1/4 in., Zinc-Plated Steel

The Tie Down Engineering Roller Shaft (part number 86026) is a replacement pin for boat trailer bow and keel roller brackets. Made from zinc-plated steel, the shaft resists rust and corrosion in both fresh and saltwater environments, making it a dependable choice for trailers that see regular ramp and dock use. It measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 6-1/4 inches in length, sized to fit standard roller bracket assemblies.

Each shaft is packaged as a complete kit with two cap nuts included, so there is no need to source separate hardware for installation. The cap nuts thread onto the ends of the shaft to hold the roller in place and keep the assembly secure while towing, launching, and recovering a boat. This makes the 86026 a straightforward swap when a roller pin has rusted, bent, or worn out from season after season of use.

While designed as a boat trailer roller shaft, the zinc-plated steel construction and simple pin design also suit other equipment that uses a roller-and-shaft setup, such as equipment racks and conveyor systems. Whether replacing a single worn pin or refreshing a full trailer roller setup, the 86026 provides a durable, corrosion-resistant, ready-to-install solution.
