<h3>Tie Down Engineering: Over 55 Years of American-Made Innovation</h3><p>When Chuck MacKarvich started Tie Down in his Atlanta, Georgia garage in 1969, his goal was straightforward: build practical, reliable solutions for working people. More than five decades later, that founding spirit still drives every product the company engineers. Today, Tie Down has grown into one of America's largest family-owned manufacturers, with <strong>over 95 patents</strong>, a catalog of 7,000+ products, and ISO 9001:2015 certification — all produced right here in the USA.</p><p>Tie Down's reach spans a remarkable range of industries, from marine and roofing to manufactured housing, agriculture, safety, and renewable energy. What unifies every division is a commitment to engineering-first design, precision manufacturing, and domestic production. The company's Atlanta facilities cover over 500,000 square feet and are equipped with state-of-the-art CNC sheet and tube cutting, robotic welding, injection molding, and tool-and-die capabilities — technology Tie Down was among the first in the Southeast to adopt as far back as the early 1980s.</p><h3>Trailer &amp; Marine Products Built to Work Hard</h3><p>For trailer builders, boat owners, and marine enthusiasts, Tie Down Engineering is a go-to source for components that hold up under real-world demands.

Paired with these are their standalone <a href="/6667-tie-down-eng-fender-1380">Fenders</a> — including innovative bracket-less designs that mount directly to the trailer frame for a clean, professional appearance without extra hardware.</p><p>Reliable hitching starts with dependable connection points, and Tie Down's <a href="/200292-couplerspins-accessories-tie-down-eng-6667">Couplers, Pins &amp; Accessories</a> deliver exactly that.

Their <a href="/200333-dock-steps-tie-down-eng-6667">Dock Steps</a> — including the NautiSteps aluminum ladder series — bring the same engineering discipline to waterfront access, offering spring-assisted designs, non-slip polypropylene treads, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction, and a 3-year warranty.

Product Details

The Tie Down Engineering 86433 is a complete 12-inch black rubber keel roller with panel bracket assembly, designed for secure and reliable keel support on boat trailers. This all-in-one assembly simplifies installation and provides a sturdy, long-lasting solution for trailering your boat.

The keel roller supports the hull of your boat during trailering, helping to absorb road shock and allowing the boat to roll smoothly onto and off the trailer. It guides the boat's keel into proper alignment for level, safe trailering and aids in stability throughout transit.

Key Features:

  • Complete assembly includes black rubber keel roller, shaft, and pal nuts — everything needed for installation
  • 12-inch roller size with a 12-3/8-inch one-piece panel bracket
  • Width between slots: 10 inches
  • Heavy-duty 11-gauge steel bracket hot dip galvanized for maximum corrosion resistance in marine environments
  • One-piece bracket design specifically engineered to support keel rollers
  • Multiple mounting holes allow vertical adjustment to fit different trailer frame heights
  • Black rubber roller cushions and protects the boat's hull
  • Roller spins freely to reduce drag during launching and loading

Built for durability in demanding marine conditions, the hot dip galvanized steel bracket resists rust and corrosion, making this assembly a dependable long-term addition to any boat trailer.

Fast shipping! Didn't know what to expect because I had never shopped here before but was very impressed.

Your system showed delivery three days before it was delivered. Caused of concern.

Super grateful you had the part. I searched other location and nobody had it in stock. You saved my bacon after the freezing temps. Will definitely shop here again and very fast delivery!

The item I bought was one to replace something I thought I had accidentally thrown away. A couple days after the boatplicity item arrived I located the like item I already had. I initiated the return process with boatplicity, as I no longer had need of the item. I completed the return request stuff and it said I would be contacted to continue the process but no one has contacted me.

Good product, price and delivery time.

Delivery was later than expected

Could not get ground shipping and drop shipping insurance.

Easy to navigate

Great price. Hopefully the shipment will arrive soon
