6 5/8 - 7" Keel Roller Pins...where to find that size?

[jvanhees]

Hey Guys, been having some trouble locating the pin length I need for my rollers on my trailer. 1/2" diameter pins....but need to be 6 5/8 - 7"...all I can seem to find is 6 1/4. I did find one at white's marine, but there shipping is a rip off. Any other ideas?




and it looks like I need a 4" one as well. Easier to find this one tho.

Iboats has 6 1/4" shafts but it seems that's too small. So why not a longer one? All you have to do is cut it to the proper length, then beat the end cap into place.

Do yourself a favor and order a few extra end caps in case you don't hit one one squarely.

You can buy 3 or 4 foot lengths of 1/2" steel rod at Lowe's or HD for less then the price of one 8" rod plus shipping.
The end caps are in the drawers in the hardware section.

Zinc plated? I'm not saying Lowes doesn't sell it; I'm asking if they do.
