I need a piece of 5/8" rod for a center pin for a boat roller about 12"
long. Will there be any difference in cold versus hot rolled for this
app? Very very little roller movement over the period of time. Think I
may just tack a washer on each end, and keep it simple. Or should I
drill and put a cotter key, at least on one end so it can be removable if
needed?

Either will work. I think they use Pal nuts on a lot of the roller
setups. I would prefer a stainless or galvanized rod as the water will
stay inside on the rod for a while.Get a long 5/8 galvanized bolt.

Hmmmm. Didn't think of that. Wonder if I can find twelve to fourteen
incher.

1/2" is easy. Get an anchor for concrete.
