If you have a deep v like I do, tapered rollers work just fine.

"Self Centering" Keel Rollers For Trailer
Anyone using "Self Centering" Keel Rollers on their trailer? The keel rollers that came on my trailer are tapered to the center, but these I am looking at are somewhat "Spiral Grooved" to the center, claiming as the boat loads forward on the trailer, the keel rolls towards the center better. I have never tried them. If you have them, do you like them? Do they make a difference over the standard tapered ones?

Thanks.
Mine is not a deep V, but is noticeable under the front third to half of the boat.
Sometimes my boat loads a little off center, not much, but enough to bug me.
Not crazy about going the way of guides on the side, but might, who knows.
I like the theory of the spiral grooved keel rollers, but I don't know anybody that has got 'em installed.
Here's the idea:
