Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I know if this roller will fit my trailer?
A: This roller is designed for a universal fit on most boat trailers. Please verify that your winch post has a 1/2-inch (0.5" or 12.7mm) mounting shaft hole and that the 4-inch inner roller length is appropriate for your setup. Measure your existing roller and bracket to confirm dimensions before ordering.
Q: What is the benefit of a polyurethane roller over a rubber one?
A: Polyurethane is a non-marking material, so it will not leave scuffs or black marks on your boat's hull, unlike some rubber rollers. It is also highly resistant to UV rays, saltwater, and oil, which prevents cracking and deterioration for a longer service life. Its shock-absorbing properties also provide better protection for your boat.
Q: How do I prevent the roller from squeaking?
A: Squeaking is often caused by friction between the roller and the metal shaft. Applying a small amount of marine-grade grease to the shaft during installation will ensure smooth, quiet operation.
