Boat rollers

[delboy030767]

I have a 2007 seatrail boat trailer I decided to replace rear 6 inch keel roller as it was not spinning as spindle bolt was seized on I had to grind it off,I brought new spindle and roller from rtm and replaced the rear one,I noticed the size in the middle section of the roller is 5mm in diameter bigger than the original one,I was wondering do I need to replace the other 2 rollers or not I was going replace the middle roller as the spindle was rusting as well

Have a look and see how its sitting. Its pretty inexpensive to replace them.

 

Also, consider using stainless rods as the spindle.

I might  replace the front and Middle rollers at least they will be all the same

put a good coating of marine grease on all the spindals to prelong spindal life

Or if the rollers are silicon (not rubber) occasionally spray some RP7 or Inox into rollers and onto spindles. Cheers Zoran

I replaced roller axles with home made ones made from stainless steel rod on my last 2 boats.  No more replacing or jammed rollers and boat comes on and off trailer much easier.  Ron
