Keep your boat's bow away from your winch and in line with it while you are trailering. The bracket accepts any 3" to 4" bow roller or Y-stop. 11-Gauge pre-galvanized steel can be painted to match your trailer.
Features:
Specs:
Typically found on winch stands mounted on trailer tongues, bow roller brackets position a bow roller or Y-stop in front of the winch to prevent the boat's bow from making contact with the winch.
Pre-Galvanized Steel
Pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after it has already been galvanized. The edges of the pre-galvanized parts often lose their zinc coating during the stamping process. Because of the thinness of the coating (less than 1 mil) and the fact that the edges remain exposed, pre-galvanized parts can begin to oxidize and rust quickly, so it's recommended that they be primed and painted.

Great for PWCs and fishing boats but probably a bit lightweight for larger boats. Works well on my Sea Doo trailer. I was going to make my own, but for what I could buy the material for, I was able to buy two of these. Bottom line, I'd buy these again for what I'm using them for.
Chad P - 08/07/2018Sturdier than expected. Looks and works great on the trailer.
Very sturdy products. Glad i made the purchase. The delivery took 3 weeks though but it's understandable due to COVID-19 and the fact that it made it to Canada.
After one year it has held up. I am using it on a trailer with a 1436 John boat.
I expected it to stiffer, but it's never shown signs of failure, so I'm happy. And you had the right part for my needs.
It bent and collapsed the as soon as I put the boat on the trailer
Exactly what I needed. Received in v good condition in a large box.
Great service and the thickness of the material is better than I thought it would be. Really stout!
The etrailer folks were extremely helpful. The part I ordered arrived swiftly and was exactly what I needed to complete my boat trailer fix. Happy to recommend and pleased to do more business with them in the future.
My trailer came without a bow roller. The parts I ordered were just what I needed to add that to my trailer. Fast delivery and good price. Web site was good also.
Patrick L - 03/18/2020As advertised. Arrived in just a few days. Heavy duty and works perfectly on my trailer set up.
I have a very small bow stop on a 22' ocean going cruiser I just purchased and needed a more substantial bow stop, I found just what I needed and I am very pleased with the results.
This bracket is machined well and the galvanized surface appears well done. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the metal is a little thinner than I would like it to be. My boat is a 19’ fiberglass skiff and I’m not sure the bracket is heavy enough to stand up to the weight of my boat. It should be no issue for a lighter / smaller boat.
Great product and even better customer service
This bracket worked out perfectly for my installation. I mounted it below the winch for two reasons: it is too narrow for the winch I already had, and the bow stop needed to be positioned below the winch attachment point on the boat (the front boat handle).
Kenneth - 01/26/2018Excellent customer service. Fast delivery and product exactly as described. Installation was easy and worked perfect. This is my second order with etrailer and it won't be my last. Matter of fact, I am looking at lifejackets today. Thanks ladies and gentlemen!!!
Fast shipping, great Communication.
Quick service. Had what I needed.
I bought this bow roller mounting bracket to replace an older bracket that did not fit my new set-up. The new bracket fits perfectly. It was delivered well ahead of the projected delivery date.
Bill G - 02/17/2019I have a 35+ plus year old shorelander boat trailer. I had recently purchased a 12 foot tracker flat bottom Jon boat. The problem I had was trying to fit my new tracker flat front boat to my old bow stop. My old bow stop is V shaped. I found a bow stop from etrailer for flat front Jon boats but it did not fit the bracket on my old trailer. I did a little research on this site and found the perfect solution. The solution was a wider mounting bracket to hold the new bow stop. The bow stop is a Yates 3 inch wide. My old bow stop was a Yates 2 inch V. The bracket is very universal for older trailers. etrailer is the only company I could find that offered this product. The prices are great and the shipping is good. I have also purchased new axle mounting plates and leaf spring bushings from here for the same trailer and they fit like a glove. The axle mounting plates and bushings are made by the same people as the bow stop bracket which is CE Smith. Thank you etrailer! I will be a continued customer!
Inexpensive way to get the bow stop/winch geometry correct on a basic trailer with a simple straight winch post. Might be a little too lightweight for larger boats, but worked great for my little Starcraft.
Received in an extremely timely manner and exactly as ordered! Part fit perfectly on my multi sport trailer and seemed to be of good quality. Will definitely use etrailer in the future.
Perfect, just what we needed. Easily installed and super fast shipping! Thanks!
