Today we're going to review part #yr450y. This is the Yates bow roller for boat trailers. This roller is constructed of a thermal plastic rubber material. This material is stronger and more durable than your traditional rubber roller. It is also softer and more pliable than the polyurethane. This material is a non-marking, non-scratching material and it is made in the USA.
This roller will replace the bow roller on your boat trailer and it does help in the loading and the unloading of the boat. This roller will support the front of the boat as it sits on the trailer and it will help absorb any road shock while the boats being towed. We're going to do a couple measurements on this. The length is 3 3/4 of an inch. The diameter is 3 inches.
Does have the heavy duty nylon bushings on both ends. This roller is designed to fit a 4 inch wide bracket that uses a half inch diameter shaft. And that should do it for part #yr450y.

Replace the standard rubber bow roller on your boat trailer with this yellow thermoplastic rubber version from Yates. TPR material is stronger than rubber and softer than polyurethane, and it won't leave marks on your boat.Far superior product compared to what was on there (old 19 year-old rubber rollers). To do my ShoreLand'r trailer, I hooked up the trailer to my pickup, chocked the wheels, jacked up the front end of the boat while keeping the winch line hooked up, and unbolt the old roller. Then simply install the new roller, check your bolts, and your ready to hit the water. Thanks etrailer.com! 526484
This is the easiest upgrade you'll ever make to you boat trailer! It takes all of 5 minutes to install. I bought this to replace the old (my boat is a 97 and I believe this was the original rubber roller) that was making black marks on the boat. No more marks with this roller and it was a perfect fit! Shipping was fast. Best price around. There is no reason to ever use a rubber roller again. I just wish I did it sooner. 97773

Johnny Lightning delivery!!! Fit perfect. High quality 777205
YR45Y Seems to be a good quality product material wise. The bolt shaft hole was off centered 5/16" (I measured) which may cause flatspotting from the boat bow over time if it doesn't roll true when impacted. I also ordered the beveled end cap rollers as well that seem just fine. Fully assembled on the trailer you can see the offset in alignment in the center roller vs. The endcaps. 763217
As described - like the yellow roller rather than black on white bottom boat- heavy duty not cheap rubber, should last longer. Fit perfectly on Skeeter bass boat. 746196

Perfect match!!! 728911
Perfect fit and quick delivery. Can't ask for more than that. 728509
Great product and hard to find something that was an exact fit to replace the original trailer component. It fits a 4 inch bracket, but the piece actually measures about 3-3/4 inch wide. Does not leave marks on my hull either. 716240

Just what I needed....Thanks 653500
Great product good quality 615617
I use this as a hose roller and it works great. Wish it was deeper grooved but since this is not what it's made for it still works fine. 610854
This works great. I bought the end caps and the whole thing gives me a much larger target to hit when pulling my sailboat onto the trailer. https://photos.app.goo.gl/WBWYuiqaGbWSxdjc2 586488
Always great products, fast shipping and good prices, thanks again 583321
Works awesome 580713
measurement was from cap to cap and not the width of the roller. Therefore it was a little undersized but worked. Also , the rod on which the roller rotated was to short for my application due to misunderstanding on the width of the roller 573328
Works great! 571263

I was tired of the black smudges the original rollers were putting on the bow of my white-hulled boat. Quality product at a fair price with fast shipping. 555874
