It replaces worn or warped rollers to help center and guide the keel during launch and retrieval, reducing side movement and protecting the hull as the boat travels across trailer cross members. This spool-style roller is molded from an enhanced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formula rather than traditional polyurethane, giving it non-marring contact so it will not mark or mar the boat's hull finish. The PVC construction is cut resistant and absorbs shock during loading, which extends roller life under repeated launch-and-retrieval cycles. Its amber finish matches Tie Down Engineering's standard roller color line, and the same roller is also offered in a 4 inch black finish and 3 inch amber and black sizes as separate part numbers, so buyers replacing a full trailer setup can match size and color. At 0.48 pounds, it is a lightweight, drop-in replacement part designed to keep trailer rollers spinning smoothly and supporting the keel without excess friction or hull wear.\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 86288\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber 4 Inch PVC End Bell\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\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 081628862881\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal boat trailer keel roller assembly using a 5\/8 inch roller shaft; not vehicle or engine specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct replacement for worn or warped keel rollers on trailers using 5\/8 inch shaft, spool-style end bells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Tie Down Engineering 86288 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part 86288 is an amber 4 inch PVC end bell roller that mounts on a boat trailer's keel roller assembly to center and guide the keel as the boat is launched and retrieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shaft size does this roller fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86288 amber 4 inch end bell is sized for a 5\/8 inch roller shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 86288 roller made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from an enhanced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formula rather than traditional polyurethane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this roller scratch or mark my boat's hull?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the PVC construction of the Tie Down 86288 is non-marring and will not mark or mar the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 86288 keel roller weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tie Down Engineering 86288 weighs 0.48 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this roller come in other colors or sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Tie Down Engineering also offers this end bell roller in a 4 inch black finish (part 86401) as well as 3 inch amber (part 86290) and 3 inch black (part 86403) versions, each a separate part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 86288 roller better than a polyurethane roller?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering's enhanced PVC formula used in the 86288 is designed to outperform traditional polyurethane rollers in cut resistance and shock absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat style of roller is the 86288?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86288 is a spool-style amber roller, part of Tie Down Engineering's keel roller line used to reduce side movement and protect the hull across trailer cross members.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace a keel roller like the 86288?\u003c\/strong\u003e This end bell replaces worn or warped rollers so the keel continues to be properly centered and guided during launch and retrieval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 86288 a genuine Tie Down Engineering part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 86288 is the manufacturer part number assigned by Tie Down Engineering to this amber 4 inch PVC end bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Tie Down 86288 roller?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Tie Down Engineering 86288 amber 4 inch end bell is 081628862881.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 86288 absorb shock during use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the PVC material in the 86288 roller is designed to be cut resistant and to absorb shock during loading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tie Down Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49017658147035,"sku":"T-D-86288","price":6.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51SLwKmcrNL.jpg?v=1785331057","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/tie-down-engineering-amber-4-inch-pvc-keel-roller-end-bell-5-8-inch-shaft-part-86288","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
