Tie Down Engineering 86169 Amber 10 Inch PVC Keel Roller, 5/8 Inch Shaft

The Tie Down Engineering 86169 is a 10 inch amber keel roller built to guide and stabilize a boat during loading while preventing the hull from slipping off the trailer's keel roller assembly. Molded from Tie Down Engineering's enhanced polyvinyl (PVC) formula, this roller is designed to outperform traditional polyurethane rollers in cut resistance and shock absorption while remaining non-marring so it will not scuff or mark the boat's hull during loading and retrieval. The roller measures 10 inches in length with a 5/8 inch shaft size, matching the common shaft diameter used on keel roller brackets and roller shafts of this size.

Because it is non-marring and cut resistant, the 86169 is suited for repeated use on boat trailers where the keel rides directly on the roller during winching and launching. Its amber color is one of two color options Tie Down Engineering offers in this 10 inch roller (the other being black), so buyers can match existing trailer hardware or personal preference.
