Overview

The Attwood Marine 11368-3 is a set of eight 5/8 inch pal nuts used with 5/8 inch roller shafts on trailer roller assemblies. Each nut is zinc-plated steel, and the set is used to keep the shaft retained in place on the roller.

This is small hardware, but it matters when you are replacing worn trailer roller parts or tidying up an older setup before launch season. Fit comes down to shaft diameter, so the main check before ordering is that your roller shaft is 5/8 inch.

Key features

• Made for 5/8 inch roller shafts
• Zinc-plated steel construction
• Used to retain the shaft in place on the roller assembly
• Set of 8 for replacement work or keeping matching spares on hand

Compatibility and fit

This set is sized for roller systems that use 5/8 inch shafts. Roller length, bracket style, and trailer brand can vary, but the shaft diameter still needs to match.

It is a good match for trailer owners servicing bow, keel, or other roller positions that already use pal nuts on 5/8 inch shafts. It also makes sense as spare hardware to keep in the trailer box when you replace shafts or rollers.

Installation and service

When roller hardware is apart, replacing the retainers at the same time is usually cleaner than reusing old pieces that have already been installed and removed. After ramp use, rinse trailer hardware and check the roller shaft ends during routine trailer service, especially on saltwater trailers.
