Question:

I currently just received a new T-1801 Fulton replacement winch for my 1995 EZ Loader boat trailer from your company. I am looking for a replacement bow stop roller for the front of this trailer. Now this roller does not actually roll but merely acts as a bow stop for the front of the boat. The other thing to take note of is that this 4inch roller actually sits sandwiched in between 2 other tapered rubber wedge shape pieces which when fully assembled creates quite a large overall bow stop. Can you confirm the centre roller part for me. Again, it needs to fit in a 4inch opening and has a 1/2inch hole for the bolt.

Hey Craig, thanks for your recent order with etrailer.com. We really appreciate your business.

I have a couple different options that would work for you. Yates offers the thermoplastic rubber bow roller in yellow, # YR450Y, and blue, # YR450B. The thermoplastic rubber material is stronger and softer than the standard polyurethane rollers and it won't leave marks on your boat. These rollers measure 3-3/4 inches long and are made to be used in 4 inch wide brackets with 1/2 inch diameter shaft.

Yates also offers the standard, Heavy-Duty Rubber Bow Roller, # YR4174-4, which measures 3-7/8 inches long and is also made to be used with a 4 inch wide brackets with 1/2 inch diameter shaft.
