Tie Down Engineering 86283 5 Inch PVC Spool Keel Roller, 5/8 Inch Shaft, Yellow

The Tie Down Engineering 86283 is a 5 inch spool-type keel roller built to guide and cushion your boat's hull as it moves along the trailer bunk during loading and launching. Molded from an enhanced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formula, this roller is designed to outperform traditional polyurethane rollers in both wear resistance and shock absorption. The non-marring PVC surface will not mark or mar your boat's gelcoat or hull finish, while the material's cut resistance and shock-absorbing properties help protect against curb rash, debris, and repeated impact from repositioning the boat on the trailer.

The 86283 uses a spool-style profile that centers and guides the keel as the boat is winched onto the trailer, reducing side-to-side drift. It is sized for a 5/8 inch shaft and is finished in yellow for high visibility on the trailer frame. The roller mounts on stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance in wet, saltwater-exposed environments.
