Hands-On with the Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers

Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers

Today we're going to review part #yr3143-4. This is a Yates bow roller for boat trailers. This roller is constructed of a heavy duty rubber compound. It is made in the USA. This roller will replace the worn out bow roller on your boat trailer it does help in loading and unloading of the boat and it does support the front of the boat as it sits on the trailer. It also helps to absorb the road shock while the boat is being towed.

I'm going to do a few measurements on this. The length of this roller is 3 inches. The diameter is also 3 inches and this roller is designed to fit on a 3 inch wide bracket that will use a half inch diameter shaft. And that should do it for part #yr3143-4.

No problems. Still like new!

by: Doug 09/16/2016

I am very happy with Etrailer. This is my 3rd order in the past 4 years and all parts have to do with a early 70s shoreline boat trailer which carries a 1975 Seacraft Safari. The personnel are very helpful and shipping excellent. Very pleased with the tires and wheels I got in 2011. I will be finishing up installing the parts I got this year in the near future when I pull my boat. I will let you know if I have any issues.

they work perfect still like new

etrailer is always an excellent resource for not only "advise" on their
products likes, but orders, and shipments arrive on time.
Their techs and customer service specialists are very knowledge, and if they
don't carry the product you need they won't sell it to you, they'll refer you to
another carrier......trust and integrity... They also followup on your satisfactory, in which many Companies ignore.

Thank you again

by: Mike K 06/07/2017

Just what I expected, just as described, just not like other companies online orders.

Perfect replacement for my 1950 trailer that had been made using washing machine rollers!

Nice working with caring people too.
I thought my order may have gone missing from my doorstep and called customer service to see what could be done. I was assured it would be taken cared of, then I found it had been delivered to the wrong address down the street.

My boat is still a work in progress, so I havent had a chance to use the product yet, but I did try it out and it worked just fine.

by: Andy 07/29/2021

Was good to know there is a place where you can find replacement parts for a very old no name boat trailers. The rollers are just what I needed. Delivery was on time with no issues. Will shop here again!

Great quality product for my boat trailer. 3 inch heavy rubber bow roller, perfect fit, and at an amazing price. Super fast service and delivery of my order. Very very satisfied with etrailer.com, I will use them for all my future parts needs.

by: Brett C 06/11/2013

I needed to replace the rollers on my jet ski trailer, but I had to replace them with rubber ones as the ones on my trailer were hard plastic and were rubbing away the finish on my ski. I am in Australia and was not able to find these in rubber anywhere at a reasonable price til I cam across etrailer. I received them today after sending them via my parcel forwarding company and I am very happy with what I got.

Very nice product, just what I wanted, great price and super fast delivery. The old urethane end caps on my Jet ski trailer were cracked from sun exposure and provided very little protection for the skis. Very Happy!

Not very good split open in a year. Would not buy again.

by: Al K 10/21/2016

I use this bow roller on one of my jet ski floating docks. It requires four for each dock. I lost one during hurricane Matthew recently. This replacement was the right size and the right price. Thanks Etrailer

by: Don G. 10/31/2016

My wife ordered a transom roller for me and did a great job. She also got a great price from etrailer.com. Part shipped quickly and fit perfect. Looking forward to using them again on any boat trailer needs I have in the future.

Hey Robn! We do sell the item # YR400BLK in yellow. It is the Yates Bow Bell for Boat Trailer Rollers item # YR400Y. However, we do not sell the Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers item # YR3143-4 in yellow. These parts are all sold individually.

All Parts Needed To Add A Winch To A Kayak Trailer
I included a winch that will be very comparable to what comes on the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870, but we do not have that exact model. I should also mention that there is no hardware included in this list, but everything else is. CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket for Winch Stands # CE31005PG CE Smith Winch Stand # CE31013G Yates Bow Roller - 3" Long - 1/2" Shaft # YR3143-4 Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch - 7" Long Handle, 12' Strap - 900 lbs # F142007

Bow Roller Recommendation to Fit 4 inch Roller that is Too Long
Looks like you have the part # YR450BLK-400BLK installed and are needing the next size down which happens to be the part # YR300BLK-325BLK. This fits the same 1/2 inch diameter shaft but is 1 inch shorter than what you have. Your bell ends being deformed would not be a good sign.

How to Determine the Correct Bow Roller Needed For a 1999 Tidewater Boat Trailer
To select the correct Bow Roller or Bow Guard, see links, for your Tidewater boat trailer, you will need to measure to determine the proper size. The width of the roller and diameter of the shaft that the roller installs on will be needed. Most boats that use a roller use the 3 inch Rubber Bow Roller, # YR3143-4, that you referenced, at the point closest to the trailer winch. This roller accepts a 1/2 inch diameter shaft.

Replacement Keel Roller Brackets for a Tee Nee Boat Trailer with 3 Inch Rollers
The 3 inch rubber bow roller, # YR3143-4, that you referenced is typically used at the front of the boat near the winch. The rollers that are usually used in the middle and rear are keel rollers. Often times, the v shape of the 3 inch bow roller is too deep for the middle or rear end of a boat hull. I did some research on your Tee Nee trailer and it looks like there are a few different styles that will affect the type of brackets that you will use. If you have frame rails that run perpendicular...

Parts Found In Pictures for CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket # CE31005PG
The Fulton Single Speed Winch # F142306 appears to be the closest winch that we have to the one in the picture with the CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket for Winch Stands # CE31005PG. It has a similar mount and frame connection with the crank handle and switch in similar positions. I cannot tell you exactly what winch was used for this photo as it is a manufacturer image and likely the winch may no longer be in production. This winch has 1,800lb capacity and includes a 20' strap with 9" handle....

Replacement Keel Rollers for 1959 OB-70A Boat Trailer
Thanks for the pictures! I have a couple of options for you to replace the keel rollers on your 1959 OB-70A Tee Nee trailer. The Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers item # YR8244-105EC are 8" long and work with a 5/8" Shaft. If you are able to reuse your current bolts or replace them you will also need the Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts for Boat Trailer Rollers item # CE10725A. If you are unable to reuse your current mounting hardware or find similar bolts we have the CE Smith Deep V Keel...

Replacement Option for 3-1/2" Rubber Bow Roller
The closest thing we have to a 3-1/2" long bow roller is the # YR450BLK. This is 3-3/4" long x 3-1/4" diameter and made of thermal-plasticized rubber. If you don't want the thermal-plasticized rubber we have the # YR4174-4 which measures 3-7/8" long x 3-1/2" diameter. Both of these are made for a 4" wide bracket with a 1/2" diameter shaft.

Shaft Recommendation for a 3 Inch Bow Roller for Boat Trailers # YR3143-4
The 3 inch bow roller # YR3143-4 takes a 1/2 inch diameter shaft such as # CE10700A. The Pal nuts are included. The length of this shaft is 5-1/4 inches long so you may need to trim it down a little. The cut will need to be straight and smooth so the Pal nuts will still fit on the ends. If a bracket is needed as well we have numerous options. I have included a link to them for you.

Availability of 3-Inch Bow Roller for Boat Trailer
We do offer 3-inch bow rollers and all can be seen on the linked page. These are offered in various materials including basic black rubber like # YR3143-4 and non-marking thermoplastic compounds like part # YR300B. All fit on a 1/2-inch shaft like the one included in CE Smith Keel Roller Assembly # CE32003G.
