Bob, I'm glad I found your note, I ordered (2) different types of spool rollers, still not wide enough. Finally after finding your advice, I got the right rollers, they are just wide enough for the keel. I also added a 4th bracket and roller, I'm finding this makes it a little easier to keep the keel lined up when winching back onto the trailer. My new roller is installed between the front-most and the middle existing rollers, as my trailer had an unused strut there. I put a smaller V roller up front, wide enough for the keel at that narrower point, then 3 C E Smith 5" spool rollers on the remaining points. Thanks for the tip!
