Video Transcript for Review of CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - Rollers - CES34JR

Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our C.E. Smith Bow Roller for your boat trailers. It's a polyurethane construction and it measures three inches by three inches with 1/2 inch diameter shaft hole all the way down the center. Now folks, this will replace one quantity, one bow roller on your boat trailer, and as you know, it eases loading and unloading of your boat by allowing it to slide and roll essentially on this roller. Now, this supports the front or the bow of the boat as it sits on your trailer, and it's gonna help absorb road shock while boat is being towed and while you're going down the road.

And again, it's constructed of a nice polyurethane. As you can see, it's an orange color. We do carry a bunch of different options like this. Some are different colors, some are different makeups, but this is our quick look together, folks. I'm Steven, as always, if you have any questions about this or any product products, please feel free to reach out to us by phone, email, or chat.

We'd be more than happy to assist you. Have a good one.

It looks perfect! Thank you for the kind review :)

This product is described as “ Pre-Galvanized Steel”. This product was installed on my trailer and sat in the garage without use for three months after I prototype. It rusted significantly and the finish came off. Etrailer refused to take it back. I called CE Smith and they sent me a new one. It did not rust as bad as the first one. I ended up sanding and painting it. I only use the product in fresh water and it is stored in my garage. Make sure to inspect this product when you get it and keep an eye on it.
by:
Worked well for my 1200cc jetski trailer. I felt that it could be stronger for the angle at which I was forced to mount it, but as long as I do not overload it there have been no issues.
by:
Assembly didn’t come with all the hardware and your company has yet to understand what hardware to send. One message you sent to confirm the hardware was completely wrong. Don’t understand why it’s hard to identify hardware. Just look at another assembly.
by:
Does what it was supposed to. Fit well as a replacement on my trailer.
by:
I give y'all "5 stars", for my purchase of a 600# rating boat trailer winch and trailer 3" bow roller.
by:
Great price, quick shipping and web site is very easy to navigate. I will let my friends and family know of you guys.
Thanks Mike
by:
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.

Still working great after a year! Theres no rust or deflection in the bracket. Sure was a lot easier than making my own!

by:
Etrailer has been great to work with. I had ordered the wrong part, by one number. Once discovered, I contacted Joshua to see if I could return the part and get the right one. Etrailer sent me a return label once I have ordered the new part and made a credit to my account.
by:
A little flimsy. I have a light boat (14 ft V)but don’t recommend for anything heavier.
by:
Works great
by:
Perfect fit looks good, easy install. Hope this keeps from getting anymore marks and scratches.
Big Thank You to Joshua with great communication.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Stuart! Although, these should do the trick to prevent the marks you were getting before. I'll share this with Joshua, he will be happy to hear.

by:
Very easy to order and find the product I was looking for!
by:
I just installed the new bow roller and boat winch and am very pleased. The new Fulton F2 and C.E. Smith roller assembly went on easier than the old parts came off. I’m also very happy with the very clean look, they really dress up my Nitro bass boat better than the original parts. I am already making plans for more upgrades after seeing the results today. Thank you etrailer for your great service and great communication.
by:
As I have mentioned on my review of the Keel Rollers I am rebuilding an old trailer that I am sure was around when Jesus was a child, it's an ol timer for sure, anyway I have it installed, looks great, haven't had the chance to try 'em out but I am absolutely sure they will do the job intended just as great. After ordering it came faster that the ship date indicated, which is always a plus.
by:
Looks to be the perfect replacement.
by:
The product is good. It’s just a little long for my purposes so I’m gonna cut it down, but it is good quality.
by:
Sturdy and a perfect fit for my vintage Ez Loader trailer. Delivery was better than promised.

Pretty well. The galvanizing is beginning to show some rust on the top edge, but the flat faces are rust free. I will probably touch it up with some cold galvanizing.

by:
Perfect, just what we needed. Easily installed and super fast shipping! Thanks!
by:
Exactly what I needed. Worked perfectly!
by:
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.
by:
Exactly what I needed.
by:
Absolutely love it. A lot nicer than typical rubber rollers.
by:
I used the CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket in setting up a winch system on my Kayak trailer, it worked great for what I needed.
