The roller is molded from Tie Down Engineering's enhanced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formula, which the company states outperforms traditional polyurethane rollers in wear resistance and shock absorption. The non-marring PVC surface rolls smoothly against the hull without marking or marring the gelcoat, while the material's cut resistance and shock-absorbing properties help protect both the hull and the roller itself from damage during repeated loading cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roller measures 4 inches in diameter and is built for a 5\/8 inch shaft, making it a direct fit for trailer keel roller assemblies sized to that shaft diameter. The spool-type profile centers the keel as the boat moves along the bunks or rollers, reducing side-to-side shifting and helping distribute the hull's weight evenly across the trailer's cross members during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spool Type Keel Roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches L x 0.63 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Service Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watercraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Year Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 081628862843\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shaft size does the 86284 keel roller fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tie Down Engineering 86284 is built for a 5\/8 inch shaft, so it should be paired with a keel roller bracket or axle sized to that diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is this keel roller?\u003c\/strong\u003e This 4 inch spool-type roller is amber in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this roller scratch or mark my boat's hull?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 86284's polyvinyl chloride (PVC) construction is non-marring, so it will not mark or mar the hull as the keel rolls across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Tie Down Engineering 86284 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from Tie Down Engineering's enhanced PVC (polyvinyl chloride) formula, which is cut resistant and shock absorbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the 4 inch keel roller?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86284 measures 4 inches in diameter (4 inches long by 0.63 inches wide) and is sized for a 5\/8 inch shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this roller weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tie Down Engineering 86284 keel roller weighs 0.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the hardware for this roller included?\u003c\/strong\u003e The roller itself is PVC with stainless steel hardware components as listed in its specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this PVC roller compare to a polyurethane keel roller?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering states its enhanced PVC formula used in the 86284 outperforms traditional polyurethane rollers, offering better cut resistance and shock absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 86284 a genuine Tie Down Engineering part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 86284 is a genuine Tie Down Engineering component, not an aftermarket equivalent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the roller type of the 86284?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86284 is a spool-type keel roller, as opposed to a center-guided roller design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this roller only sold in amber, or does Tie Down Engineering offer other colors?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86284 is the 4 inch spool-type roller in amber; Tie Down Engineering also offers this same style in black under a different part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this keel roller used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tie Down Engineering 86284 supports and guides a boat's keel as it moves onto or off of a trailer, reducing hull movement and helping protect the hull across the trailer's cross members.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tie Down Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49017657950427,"sku":"T-D-86284","price":8.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41zNLdX12kL.jpg?v=1785331056","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/tie-down-engineering-86284-amber-4-inch-pvc-keel-roller-spool-type-5-8-inch-shaft","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
