I recently fitted a brass keel strip to my fibreglass pride and joy. Now I find the red poly keel rollers are to soft and the boat digs into them just sitting on the trailer. They are getting cut to pieces ever time I launch and retrieve the boat. The black rubber keel rollers are harder but is their anything better.

Hi mate how are those brass strips attatched?.
The blue rollers are tougher, designed to suit aluminium hulls where the red is softer to save the chance of receiving indentations over time, so possibly blue may suit you better.

8# x 25mm CSK 316 stainless steel screws, with a little epoxy glue/filler between the strip and hull.

Don't know how this posy ended up here, i thought I selected "boat chat"
