Tie Down Engineering 12 Inch Amber PVC Keel Roller, 5/8 Inch Shaft

The Tie Down Engineering 12 inch keel roller is a boat trailer roller designed to support and guide the hull along the keel line during loading, launching, and transport. Molded from an enhanced PVC formula, it is built to outlast traditional polyurethane rollers while providing a non-marring surface that will not mark or mar the boat's gel coat or hull finish. The PVC construction is cut resistant and absorbs shock, helping protect the hull from impact as the boat settles onto the trailer.

This roller measures 12 inches in length and is finished in amber, and it is sized for a 5/8 inch shaft, matching standard keel roller bracket hardware. As the boat travels along the keel rollers during loading, the roller spins freely on its shaft to reduce friction and drag against the hull, helping maintain proper alignment along the trailer bunk or roller assembly. It is a direct fit replacement for worn, cracked, or hardened keel rollers of the same size and shaft diameter.
