Description
Overview:
The Maypole Keel Vee Roller is a non-marking blue polymer roller for boat trailers, designed to support and centre the keel during launching, recovery, and transport. It measures 98 mm (3.86 inches) maximum diameter with a 204 mm (8.03 inches) width, features a 16 mm bore for standard trailer spindles, and a vee profile that guides the keel into line. Built for reliability and smooth rolling, it helps protect gelcoat and painted hulls from scratches and marks. This roller is a direct replacement on many Maypole setups and fits securely to suitable trailer brackets and roller assemblies, including MP17305 and TR17305. With a practical 510 g weight and durable construction, it is a dependable choice for routine trailer servicing and upgrades (MPN: MP1730).

Typical Applications:
Ideal for boat trailers carrying small to medium craft where the keel needs guided, cushioned support. Used during towing, launching, and retrieval at slipways to centre the hull and reduce drag.
