Boat Trailer Grey Rubber Roller Keel Cotton Reel 4.5″ x 80mm x 16mm Bore – Non Marking (SKU: CRGR118X16)

The CRGR118X16 is a 4.5″ keel roller in the reliable cotton reel design, crafted with durable 75 DURO non-marking grey rubber. Designed for light to mid-size boat trailers, it’s 80mm wide and perfect for stable keel support without leaving marks on fibreglass or gel-coated surfaces.

With a 16mm bore and a press-fit configuration, this roller allows the shaft to rotate inside the bracket while the roller stays securely in place. It’s a great fit for trailers using 16mm spindles and is built to endure Australian conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this good for heavy boats?
  Better suited for light to medium boats. For heavy boats, consider dual-bracket or harder compound rollers.
• What kind of shaft does it need?
  It’s a press-fit for 16mm shaft. The shaft spins inside the bracket, not the roller.
• Will it leave marks on the hull?
  Nope! Grey rubber is non-marking and fibreglass-safe.
• UV resistant?
  Yes, it’s UV-stable and built for marine environments.

Is This Roller Right for You?

Perfect for:

• Small to mid-size boat trailers
• Boats with fibreglass or painted keels
• Trailers using 16mm solid shaft

Avoid if:

• Your trailer uses larger diameter spindles
• You need a roller with a rotating core – this one’s static

Installation Notes:

1. Line up the roller and gently press it onto the spindle
2. Ensure the shaft rotates freely within your bracket
3. Check clearance and keel alignment before trailering
