Today we're going to review part #yr4174-4. This is the Yates bow roller for boat trailers. This bow roller is constructed of a heavy duty rubber material. It is made in the USA. This will replace the worn out bow roller on your boat trailer. This will help in the loading and unloading of the boat and it will support the front of the boat as it sits on the trailer.
This will also help absorb the road shock while the boat is being towed. Now we are going to do a few measurements on this. The length is 3 and 7/8 inches. The diameter is 3 and a half inches. This bow roller is designed to fit on a 4 inch wide bracket that has a half inch diameter shaft.
And that should do it for part #yr4174-4.

Product was easy to locate and order, quick and simple. Price was very reasonable and even beat the best prices on eBay! Checkout was very smooth and delivery was timely and as promised.
I'd definitely consider etrailer.com when my next boating accessory need arises.
etrailer's website is so easy to use, they have a huge selection of products, and after days of searching I finally found the roller I needed. And surprise! they delivered it to Hawaii in a couple of days!!
perfect replacement and good quality
Hello all, I ordered new boat trailer rollers... Great products and quick shipping
The bow roller fit perfectly as it was a direct replacement for what was there. The quality looks great and the installation was easy. I would definitely use your company again
Ordered 4" bow roller and it fits perfectly. Shipping was fast and I'll be ordering more items from etrailer. Great company to buy from.
Good quality, excellent price, and quick shipping! Easy to install, and works well!
Exact part that I needed for my 24yo boat trailer. I wanted to replace my old parts with the exact part that came with the trailer. I could have bought knock-off parts from another site but didn't trust the quality or the sizes that was offered. etrailer had what I wanted. Quick shipment too. Kept me informed of the process of my order.
Item as described. I had to replace my roller because it fell apart from being old. My boat trailer is from 1991 and this is the first time I replaced the roller on the bow. Great service and fast shipping.
direct fit replacement.
price very good compared to other suppliers.
on time delivery .

Well, it's a bow roller, what else can I say? It fits well with the roller bracket you can order on the website and with the shaft as well. Service was awesome and turnaround time was quick. Thanks etrailer!
Exact replacement for my 2003 trailer.

Still working great
This bow roller fit perfect on my shorelander trailer winch. They call it a 4 inch wide roller and was wondering if it would fit but when I received it I measured and it was 3-3/4 inches wide and fit perfect. It only took about 4-5 days to receive it. Great place to order parts.
Fits perfectly on my 1985 EZ loader boat trailer and matched the old worn out bow rollers.
Bought everything to completly rebuild my trailer. All products were good quaility and fit perfectly. The outstanding service was the best part. Never have done trailer work before and I called and talked to support. Got me everything I needed and it was all correct. Upgraded my shipping for free and I still recieved my order quicker than they told me I would.
Product was easy to order, Product was exact replacement, Fast shipping, Great communications AAA+++

Just like OEM, Working well.
Exactly what I was looking for at a fair price, fast shipping!!
Works just fine! Just can't tighten the bolt as tight as humanly possible or it won't allow the roller to turn. Use a nylon nut and/or put a tack weld on the nut and you're good to go.
Exact replacement, less than 5 minutes ro replace. Took more time to get the tools and put them away.
As expected. Nice quality.
My trailer setup has this as middle roller with end cap rollers. One end cap started to fail after 20 years. This roller would have lasted another 10 years from how it looked but I replaced all 3 regardless. Great price, fast shipping. And as bulletproof of a setup as anyone could ask for.
As expected.
Perfect fit on my 1992 Sprint Bass Boat trailer.
