Quick answer

What are boat trailer rollers?

Boat trailer rollers are the rollers and pads on a boat trailer that support the hull and let the boat roll on and off at the ramp. The main types are bow rollers (also called bow stops) at the front, end caps or side rollers beside the bow roller, keel rollers under the center of the hull, and keel pads that cover the frame. Stoltz rollers are made of non-marking polyurethane, which outlasts rubber and PVC and won’t mark your hull.

Sizing

How to find the right size in 3 steps

Most ordering mistakes come from measuring the outside of the bracket. Follow these steps and the roller will fit and spin freely.
  1. Find where the roller goes

    Bow rollers and end caps sit at the front of the trailer. Keel rollers and keel pads sit along the center, under the keel.
  2. Measure the inside of the bracket

    Measure between the inside walls of the bracket, not the outside. That width is the roller size you order. For a keel pad, measure the width of the frame it sits on.
  3. Match the shape

    For a bow roller, match the shape of your bow: slotted V, deep V, semi V or flat. Then pick flat, medium bell or large bell end caps for the curve of the hull.

Why polyurethane

Why Stoltz polyurethane rollers last longer

Most stock trailers ship with rubber or PVC rollers. Stoltz Super Rollers are molded from polyurethane, which wears longer and protects the hull better.
  • Non-marking

    Non-marking and non-staining polyurethane, so it will not leave black marks on gelcoat or paint.
  • Won’t split or crack

    Stays tough through summer heat and extreme cold instead of drying out and cracking.
  • No flat spots

    Holds its shape after months of storage with the boat sitting on it.
  • Abrasion resistant

    Resists wear and cuts from launch after launch on rough ramps.
  • Oil, gas and salt

    Unaffected by oil, gas and salt, in fresh water or salt water.
  • Made in the USA

    Made by Molded Dimensions in Marshfield, Wisconsin. No bushings or bearings needed.

FAQ

Boat trailer roller questions

What are boat trailer rollers made of?

Most are made of rubber, PVC (vinyl), polyolefin, thermoplastic rubber (TPR) or polyurethane. Stoltz rollers are polyurethane, which is non-marking, resists abrasion, does not split or crack in extreme weather, does not flat spot in storage, and is unaffected by oil, gas and salt. Compare the materials.

Are polyurethane boat trailer rollers better than rubber?

For most boaters, yes. Polyurethane costs more up front, but it wears longer, carries heavier loads, will not mark the hull and does not crack or flat spot the way rubber does as it ages. Rubber is the lowest cost option for light boats.

How do I measure a boat trailer roller?

Measure the inside width of the bracket the roller mounts in, not the outside. That measurement is the size you order. Each roller is made slightly smaller than its bracket so it can spin. For a keel pad, measure the width of the trailer frame it sits on.

What is the difference between a bow roller and a keel roller?

A bow roller sits at the front of the trailer and cradles the bow. Stoltz bow rollers fit a 1/2″ bolt and come in 1 1/2″ to 4″ widths. A keel roller sits along the center of the trailer under the keel. Stoltz keel rollers fit a 5/8″ bolt and come in 5″ to 18″ lengths, so the two are not interchangeable.

Is a bow roller the same as a bow stop?

Yes. A bow stop, or bow stop assembly, is the bow roller at the front of the trailer with its end caps. A Stoltz bow stop kit includes the center roller, 2 end caps, a stainless bolt, 2 washers and a lock nut. Stoltz also makes V bumpers, also called V bow stops, in 3″ and 4″.

When should I replace my boat trailer rollers?

Replace a roller when it is cracked, split, flat spotted, worn down, no longer spins, or leaves marks on the hull. Worn rollers let the hull ride on the bracket or frame, which can scratch the boat.

Stoltz Super Rollers are made in the USA by Molded Dimensions in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Boat Trailer Rollers is an authorized Stoltz dealer.
