Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this roller will fit my trailer?

This roller is designed to fit any boat trailer that uses a 5/8-inch diameter roller shaft. The most reliable method is to measure the diameter of your existing roller's shaft to confirm it is 5/8" before ordering.

What is the benefit of a self-centering roller?

The grooved "V" shape automatically guides the boat's keel to the center of the trailer as you drive it forward. This makes loading easier, faster, and more consistent, especially in windy or current-heavy conditions.

What is the roller made of? Will it mark my boat's hull?

It is made from a resilient, non-marking polymer blend (PVC). This material is specifically chosen for its durability and its inability to leave scuffs, streaks, or marks on your boat's gelcoat or hull.
