Product Details

The Tie Down Engineering 86283 is a 5-inch amber PVC spool-type keel roller designed for boat trailer applications. Built from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this roller centers and guides the keel of your boat onto the trailer during loading and unloading, helping to prevent side-to-side shifting and ensuring proper alignment for smooth, hassle-free launching and retrieval.

The amber PVC compound is long-lasting, shock-absorbing, and cut-resistant, and its non-marking surface will not scratch or mar your boat's hull. The roller is also engineered to resist abrasion and salt corrosion, making it equally suitable for freshwater and saltwater trailer use.

Running multiple keel rollers along the trailer's cross members distributes the hull load more evenly, reducing stress on any single point and protecting the boat from unwanted contact with metal trailer components. The 86283 also serves as a reliable direct replacement for worn, warped, or distorted OEM-style keel rollers.

Key Features:

  • Spool-type design for effective keel centering and guidance
  • 5-inch length with 5/8-inch shaft hole
  • Amber PVC construction — durable, flexible, and non-marking
  • Shock-absorbing and cut-resistant material protects hull and roller alike
  • Salt and corrosion resistant — suitable for fresh and saltwater environments
  • Direct replacement for worn or distorted boat trailer keel rollers
  • Sold individually

The Tie Down Engineering 86283 keel roller is a cost-effective upgrade or replacement to keep your boat trailer rolling smoothly and your hull protected season after season.

The turbo (s475sx-e) has been my best purchase this year. The order was placed at the end of the workday and Thmotorsports shipped it the very next morning, also the box arrived in magnificent condition, the turbo was picture perfect without a blemish. Thmotorsports was the most affordable out of all ten sites that were considered, with top notch shipping. I have to say Thmotorsports was the best choice for my genuine part.
