Description
C.E. Smith Panel Bracket Assembly 12" Keel Roller - Yellow TPR is a heavy-duty, pre-assembled trailer accessory designed to absorb road shock and protect your boat's hull during loading, unloading, and transport.
Core Specifications
- Bracket Material: Heavy-duty, hot-dipped galvanized steel for superior marine corrosion resistance.
- Roller Material: Yellow Thermal Plasticized Rubber (TPR), which is highly durable, UV-resistant, and strictly non-marking to prevent scuffs on your hull.
- Dimensions: 13" L x 9" W x 5" H, weighing approximately 7.2 lbs.
- Shaft Size: 5/8" diameter steel shaft.
- Mounting Pattern: Mounting slots are spaced 10 inches apart on center.
- Adjustability: Features dual 1/2" wide x 5" tall vertical slotted holes to fine-tune the height to fit your specific hull profile.
- Fastener Compatibility: Designed to bolt directly to standard trailer frames using 1/2" or 7/16" fasteners (mounting hardware is typically sold separately).
Key Advantages
- No Assembly Required: The unit comes out of the box with the bracket, 5/8" shaft, and yellow roller pre-installed to save setup time.
- Advanced TPR Formulation: Unlike standard black rubber which degrades or leaves black streaks, or hard polyurethane which can split, TPR remains resilient, cushions the keel evenly, and won't mar the boat's gel coat.
- ·Even Load Distribution: The wide 12-inch profile balances weight across a larger surface area, mitigating intense point-load stress on the center hull during rough haul-outs.
