The keel roller is located just about even with the front of the bunks, and is 10" wide, a little below the lower inner surface of the bunks. My keel stop has about a 100-degree angle between the right and left pads. I hope this answers your questions completely. Let me know if you need any other measurements. I'm also going to post some pictures in a few minutes that might also illustrate some of the measurements and relationships between the various parts. |

AutoAccessories4Less for $50 including shipping. I chose that model because it replaces the stock jack - just remove the snap ring and install the new one on the existing bracket. The winch is a Fulton F2. I got it through Amazon Prime for $94.09 (free shipping if you're a member). Maybe a little bit of overkill for as much as I use the trailer, but it's a nice looking winch. |

Here's some more pictures of the (almost) complete restoration. I finished carpeting the bunks, the keel stop and the inside of the fenders. I also replaced the riveted-on cheesy plastic clamps holding the brake line to the cross member with stainless steel cushioned clamps. I think they'll work better and they look better, too.
One thing I read in another thread about replacing the carpet on the bunks that I'll add: when you're unbolting the bunks from the trailer frame, squirt a generous amount of Liquid Wrench on the bolts the night before to loosen up the rust. I only replaced one of the bolts, and that was because I resorted to sawing it off. The rest of the carriage bolts got freshened up by using a 5/16th x 18 thread die to straighten out any dinged up or rusty threads. The original bolts appeared to be stainless, so with a little maintenance they still were fine. About the only things left to do: -bleed the brakes -reinstall the bearing buddies and pump some grease into them -get a spare wheel and tire (maybe a cover, too) -maybe add some prop cage rollers |

Thanks for the info 205er. That is exactly what I was looking for. I plan to revise my trailer for my winter project this year. This thread will be very helpful to me.

Is there a place to buy rollers for the bottom of the boat trailer at the transom so it doesn't scratch the trailer frame?

I haven't found any yet that work specifically for my trailer. California Trailer Works has a nice setup but it is specifically designed to work with DHM trailers (their brand), and the prop cage has a different angle than mine so won't work. You could probably buy the casters from them and have your own mounting bracket built -- any trailer repair/welding shop could probably make something workable. I might go that route.
