Boat trailer parts

Where can I get a rubber covered roller for the back of a trailer I need to modify for a drift boat?

I see another boat build in my future. This time a Bob Pricthett Rogue River drift boat. Plans are from a book written by Roger L. Flectcher = Drift Boats and River Dory's. Got my book from Amazon.

Orvis: Call Hamilton Marine 1-800-639-2715 They have 2 1/2" X 12" black rubber rollers for 1/2" shaft @ $22. Mount up with spacers to get the width you need. Catalog has lots of other types. Try a sand and gravel supplier- they may have a conveyor roller that might work.

Good Luck

Orvis.

McMaster-Carr Catalog has slide on and heat shrink covers for standard rollers. Check it out here; http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rollers-for-conveyors/=txd6b8 (FYI Schedule 40 1 1/2" Dia Galvanized Pipe is 1.90 Dia.)

They sell rollers too; http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rollers-for-conveyors/=txd4we
