8″ Boat Trailer Black Rubber Keel Roller – 204mm Long, 75mm Diameter, 26mm Bore, Parallel Type (SKU: PRBK200X26)

8″ Parallel Keel Roller – Large Bore, Built for Stability

The PRBK200X26 is a tough 8-inch black rubber keel roller with a large 26mm bore, perfect for trailers using 25mm shafts. It features a parallel design that provides full-length keel support, especially useful for flat-bottomed or slightly curved boat hulls.

With a 204mm length, 75mm diameter, and made from high-density rubber at 85 Duro hardness, it absorbs impact without deforming and rotates directly on the shaft. It’s fully UV-stable and marine-grade, ready for sun, salt, and serious service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Will this work with a 25mm shaft?
  A: Yes, it’s a loose fit for 25mm shafts and spins freely on the spindle.
• Q: Is this roller good for V-hull boats?
  A: It’s best for flat or gently curved keels. V-hull boats may benefit more from dog bone or vee-style rollers.
• Q: Is the rubber UV-resistant?
  A: Absolutely — it’s designed to handle Aussie sun without cracking or fading.
• Q: Does it include brackets?
  A: No, this listing is for the roller only. Brackets and shafts are sold separately.

Usage Guide

Steps to install your PRBK200X26 roller:

1. Slide onto a 25mm or 26mm spindle (loose fit is expected).
2. Use washers or locking clips to secure in place.
3. Ensure it aligns with your boat’s keel position.
4. Rinse after use to extend roller life, especially after saltwater exposure.

Evaluation & Recommendation

This roller is made for trailers with older or larger spindle setups. It’s the strongest 8″ roller in the parallel family – ideal when regular 16mm or 20mm rollers just don’t cut it.

Think big, roll bigger – this one’s for the serious setups.
