Video Transcript for Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers: The Breakdown

Speaker 1: Today we're going be taking a look at Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers, part number is YR300Y.Now for this assembly with the bells included, you'll want part number YR300Y-325Y.Now this replacement roller is designed to ease loading and unloading of your boat in its basic design, but it's made of a thermal plastic rubber. This rubber is designed to be much stronger than a standard rubber, and it's going to be softer than a polyurethane. With that material, we also won't have to worry about the roller causing any marks on our boat. It's designed to absorb road shock as we head down, so the stresses that our trailer experience won't be passed through to the boat.Now, just to give you an idea of the dimensions so you can ensure it's going to work for your application, the roller itself is going to be 3" wide, and it has a 3" diameter. The hole going through the middle is going to be 1/2", so it's going to work with any system that has a 3" requirement with a 1/2" bolt or pin.The first step in your installation process will be removing the existing roller if you have them on the front. You see here, our end rollers are in good shape still, but you can see that middle's really torn up.

This uses one of the pressure pin style holders. It's just a cap on each side that you typically just knock on there, so in our case, we're going to have to pry that off. If yours has a bolt, you'll just want to remove the bolt.Now with that off, we'll just slide our components out. You can see our shaft here is in pretty good shape. We're just going to be reusing this.

We're going to put a new hat on the end. Part number there is going to be CE10800. You could also use a replacement bolt. However, if you use inside rollers like this, with the thickness of about 1", that bolt's not going to be long enough.For the bolt itself, the part number is CE11096ZY. Our washers are part number CE10961ZY.

We're going to be using two of those and the nylon lock nut, part number CE10812ZY.Now the kit that we mentioned earlier is going to have all the hardware we just talked about. It's going to have your middle roller and it also has the bell off the side, so if you can't recycle your original bumpers, you can replace them.I want to take our parts here. We're just going to slide these back together. Then we'll just need to push our cap on here. Once you have it started, you just want to knock it on.That's going to complete our look at the Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers, part number YR300Y..
