This 2½-inch tapered roller is crafted from high-strength black rubber with an 85 DURO rating for firm, reliable keel support. Its tapered shape helps guide your boat smoothly onto the trailer while reducing resistance and bounce.
Fitted with a 17mm bore, it offers a loose fit on standard 16mm shafts, allowing the roller to turn freely on the shaft. This design reduces wear and friction, making it ideal for light to mid-sized boat trailers that require easy keel alignment.
The tapered profile helps self-align the boat's keel during retrieval, improving trailer centring and reducing misalignment damage. Great for replacing worn rollers or building a custom roller cradle system.
Note: This roller has a loose fit on 16mm shafts – it is intended to spin freely for reduced friction and better wear performance.
