Replace the worn-out bow stop on your boat trailer with this heavy-duty rubber one. Stop acts as a bumper to keep your boat from hitting your trailer winch when loading. Designed for use with johnboats.I recall seeing a request for customer photos somewhere. I know this is not exactly a correct set-up, but it's what my budget allowed. Anyway, on my 1st trip with this boat, the V shaped roller that came with the trailer (bought used last year) basically rubbed the boat raw, partly because the trailer isnt exactly straight. I had thought of the wood block first, so I may end up just putting a towel between the stop block and the boat. Sorry, I lost some of the "before" pics.
The empty trailer has the old roller, but to explain, I raised the bunks and made them flat, then bolted 2" x 8" & 2" x 6" redwood slats across. It fits like they were made for each other.
But good product, timely shipping, price was competitive.
I installed it in place of a V type roller, because the boat is a flat bow Jon Boat.
It was a perfect fit & it spreads the load across a wider area to minimize stress on the hull.
The rubber is kinda hard , so I’ll add a stick on pad where it contacts the hull.
Thank you.

Appears to fit my pontoon trailer bow stop area... need to purchase a second one now though!
Works perfect on our Carolina Skiff. The trailer always had rollers which break down since the skid has a flat front. This works great.
Fits great works great. Should be used for every Jon boat trailer.
Exactly what I needed! Fast shipping!! You guys are awesome!!!
Smooth sailing! Order was handled and delivered promptly.
Delivery was awesome; ordered and arrived two days later. Since my 16' aluminum Starcraft has a "flattened" upper bow from where a previous owner tightened the winch with stop against hull prior to pulling boat/trailer out of deep launch; this "jonblock" with flat surface was just what I needed. thanks.

As a follow up, the rubber jonblock on front of boat trailer continues to work just fine a year after purchase. Totally satisfied with this replacement of original trailer boat stop pad.
Works perfect with my square nose Aluma craft.

Excellent! Very satisfied with the product. Highly recommend!
Works perfect for my jon boat!
Fast shipping and even faster installation. This took about 3 minutes to install and it fits perfectly. Here are some before and after pictures. I can't tell when I post this whether the before picture is first or second. Buy with confidence.

Still working great. The old hard bumper was dinging up my jon boat, but the rubber one from etrailer works great.
Great product at a great price. My problem was, with the roller on the front of my trailer and all the weight of the motor, trolling motor, and battery on the back of my boat, when I would travel down the road and hit bumps the front of my boat would jump up on top of the roller and then the winch strap would be loose and allow the front of my boat to slide back and forth. It fit very well where the original 3" roller was and even though I haven't tried traveling with the block in place, at least I can pull up on the front of my boat without it jumping over the block. I expect it will work exactly like I want it to.
A must have for jon boat trailers. I purchased a new trailer and it came with a v-hull roller. My boat was getting wear marks from the tiny bit of surface space actually touching the bow. No matter how tight the winch was, the bow would still move side to side going down the road. This was taking the paint off and creating shiny spots. Thanks to this proper jon boat bow stop, my boat is secure for travel with no more bow wear.
Continental JB1612 Trailer and a Tracker 1542 Jon Boat. I have no idea why these don't come as standard. etrailer had far and away the best deal. Most places wanted some ridiculous price and/or an exorbitant shipping fee. Why I keep coming back to etrailer. Less than five minutes to switch out.
Perfect,the only one I could find that will work on my joh boat thanks
Product was shipped quickly and arrived as expected. Easy to install.
Great fit for my jon boat. Trailer had been fitted with a roller bow stop, which did not fit the jon boat whatsoever. The jon block fit perfectly on the trailer and mated up flush and secure with the boat.
Quick receive on this item. It bolted right on and is an improvement for a flat front Jon boat.
I live on a river and have to speed onto the trailer and needed this bumper to spread the impact area on the bow. Not that it hits that hard, but you never know.
Works as advertised. Well built and does the trick.
5 stars all the way. I just installed my bow stop today on my boat trailer and it is awesome. Everyone that has a flat bottom boat on a trailer needs one of these. Thanks etrailer just what I needed. I am sending before and after pictures, so you can see how great it works. Thanks again
Fits perfect
Product was as expected and delivered on time!
Was perfect for my jon boat. Had to make a new winch-stand w/ bow stop and it holds the bow perfect. And for around $15 +shipping it was the best price I found.
Just what I needed fast shipping g

Multipurpose trailer lets you haul your jon boat, kayak, or personal watercraft. Adjustable bunks can be set front to back or side to side to hold various boat types. 11' 8" Long trailer with 8" wheels supports boats up to 12' long.I’m very pleased with the Smith boat trailer.It is well made and rugged . It also was easy to assemble . I have been building a sailboat on the trailer so even though I’ve had the trailer for a year it hasn’t gone on the road yet but I feel confident it will go well. My boat is 13’ long and so is longer than they recommend for the trailer but it only weighs 350lbs is well within the weight limit, but you definitely don’t want a longer boat than that on this trailer.The one thing I think would make this trailer much superior is if it had stainless steel hardware . The Galvanize is very well done but the hardware is just Galvanize plated .I will only use it in fresh water but I don’t think it would do well for saltwater use . For the price it is certainly a great value.

It has been another year with the trailer and it is holding up well. It toes very well and even though I had reservations about the hardware , it still hasn’t started to rust . I’m very happy with my purchase.
The trailer is wonderful. It met my needs for towing a RIB dinghy for our sailboat. The dinghy is 11 feet long with a 20 HP outboard. We received three boxes that were pretty banged up - no fault of etrailer or CE Smith but the boxes came about 2 weeks before the estimated due date. I was impressed and psyched to get it that fast. The trailer was well packed and the entire shipment came without any hassles.
We were short one lock nut but I had enough 3/8" nylon lock nuts around to easily deal with the loss. Now, here is where etrailer shines. I contacted them just to alert them of the missing part and they jumped on it right away. There are few online companies that are good with customer service. To the best of my knowlege there are even fewer with GREAT customer service. etrailer is one with great customer service. I enjoy working with them and find every product they sell is top notch.
Here are a few pics that show me slowly assembling the trailer.
For those who are interested in time estimates:
Collect necessary tools - 15 mins + 1 beer
Assembly - 2 hours + 2x 1 Liter Nalgene water
Test drive - 10 mins on highway after beer and water out of my system
All told, if you are handy and read the instructions (carefully) before trying to assemble it, I think you can easily come under the 3 hour mark. Take your time reading the instructions.
This trailer is beefy. I had a 14 foot sailboat that weighed 1700 lbs and that trailer was hardly sturdier than this beast. For our new dinghy (Highfield 340), this trailer is perfect.
Bought this trailer to hold my inflatable from Costco. Fits perfectly and is very nice. Works great and is not too heavy. A great addition to it would be some tie down hooks attached.
Ordered my trailer over the phone - the service was excellent. All boxes were delivered ahead of schedule. It took some time assembling the trailer, but the instructions were easy enough to follow. My Pond Prowler 10 fits perfectly. Can’t wait to get it on the road to put the boat in the water.
I am still waiting for the trailer. Two of the five packages were received and I understand the last three packages will be delivered the end of this week. I would like to recognize Nick, your service representative. Nick was the 3rd representative I spoke with the first lady, failing to complete my order, I understand the call was disconnected. I then spoke with Gwen who completed the order but said the trailer was back ordered and I would not receive it until mid June? I was trying to review the parts that were available and being shipped and the call was abruptly ended. I called back to review the order and shipping dates and was lucky to connect with Nick. Nick has been excellent. He called the supplier the next business day (Monday) and called me that same day with an update. Nick confirmed the supplier will ship the trailer direct to me later this week, great news for me. Nick made himself available, answered my questions, confirmed packages to be shipped and when so I could plan for the time needed to assemble the trailer and customize it with the other packages for my inflatable pontoon. Thank you Nick! Looking forward to receiving the last three packages in a couple of days.

Its a solid trailer for my inflatable pontoon and easy to store upright in my garage. Thank you again for this quality product!
Very, very happy with my trailer. Great price, fairly easy to assemble (took me maybe 4 hours). Exactly what I was looking for!
Great trailer that meets my needs perfectly. It was easy to assemble. I’m pretty handy; however, even if you’re not, the directions are very clear and easy to follow. The executed certificate of origin was in the box and along with the email bill of sale, I had no issues with registering the trailer. The trailer arrived sooner than estimated and all my interactions with the staff at etrailer were positive.
Super easy to put together. Very clear directions. Seems like a high quality product that is perfect for my 12 foot kayak.
The trailer I purchased is exactly what i needed and it works great on my 10 ft. bass hunter boat. I would recommend anyone wishing to purchase a trailer to look into what etrailer has to offer on your needs.
As far as the trailer goes its good, easy to put together! however when I placed my order I had asked that all the paperwork be completed prior to arrival, not ever having bought a trailer before I had the signed document in hand to get it registered and found out it was not complete! I had to send it back, which took about 2wks, for it to be notarized and completed, customer service was good, except for this hiccup!
etrailer.com is a company I'd recommend to deal with. Self-assembly of the product is fairly easy due to detailed instructions. Delivery was done perfectly in time.

The trailer works fine, and Im really satisfied with that purchase.
I ordered the trailer to avoid putting my 8 foot Walker Bay on top of my truck - gettin' old. It wasn't too difficult to assemble although I had to get a missing package of hardware re-shipped. I suspect that it was lost in shipment as the outer carton had a tear in it.

Not a lot of use as lake fishing here only lasts through April but the trailer is in great shape. Had a little trouble trying to find bearing buddies to fit the hubs but called etrailer.com and got the correct size and ordered from them!
Bought this kit to haul an 11-foot inflatable boat. Overall nice trailer for the price. Took me about 5 hours to assemble and adjust to fit my boat. Frame made well and like that bunks and bow/winch support are customizable. Have used it a couple times on side roads and highways - travels well but with only 225 pounds of boat and motor on top of a 200 pound trailer it does bounce easily. One thing to know is that I also bought a pair of guide-ons that were tough to mount to this trailer because there isn't much space left on the frame around the wheels to attach it. Only other minor concern is that the license plate holder is only made of plastic and sticks down low to the ground so I am afraid it could break off on road or at the boat ramp.
I purchased this trailer in order to haul an unfinished 12 foot Kit Boat from the fifties.
I found it easy to assemble, made of quality materials and exactly what I needed for the task.
I drove it almost 2000 miles to its new home in Wisconsin and encountered no problems whatsoever. It tracked well and handled well even during strong side winds.
That's why I gave it 5 stars.
The trailer got to my home very fast, surprisingly fast. I put it together in about 7 hours. I'm old, fat, and out of shape, well i'm shaped round but that's not the shape I should be in. Anyway, it wasn't complicated but fairly easy to build. It would have been much faster if I had a partner to help me out. All was great until I went to register it. Well it seemed that the MCO wasn't endorsed. So I called etrailer and they were very attentive and helpful. They asked me to send the MCO to them and they would endorse it and send it right back. I sent it and received it back in a couple weeks. All in all that was good. So now thanks to the Virus I have to make another appointment and get another appointment date...I'll keep you posted!
I do recommend this trailer and this company and I hope that in the future this potential issue gets resolved.
I have just finished putting my 12ft boat trailer together, it took me 3 days to do it. Considering I have a bad back and I'm 79 years old and doing it by myself. I'm not what you might call a handy man but with the video and the instructions I was able to finish it. All the people I had talked to at etrailer before and after I bought the trailer were great they all seam to go out of there way to answer all my questions and even called me back to give me the answer if they could not answer it on the phone. I would have given them 5 stars except for the fact that the manufacturer sent me the pink slip in one of the boxes and it had ripped at the bottom of the slip,then I had to send it back to etrailer for them to sign off on it and then have them mail it back to me. So I'm unable to get my license plate until it's sent back to me. I would recommend buying a trailer from them.
I purchased the Smith Multi-Sport Trailer (Model 48810). The package arrived promptly, complete and well packed, and the instructions were very clear. I ran into two small problems during assembly and the folks at Smith responded immediately with replacement parts with no cost and no hassle. I completed the assembly and now I am using it to move a 12' wooden skiff at the beach. The trailer is well-built with quality materials and looks like it will last forever.
Awesome trailer! Had a bum tire when trailer arrived though (damaged during factory mounting - small slice in side wall). I contacted etrailer.com and they shipped me a new tire with wheel No questions asked.
Trailer took 4 hours to assemble but im very happy with the design and quality! Was going to get a cheaper trailer but im glad I went with the ce smith 48810. I ordered trailer guides which are great - highly recommend them with this trailer.
I bought this for a 10 foot inflatable I got for the grandkids to use when we went camping. With the bunks placed at their greatest distance apart it fits the boat perfectly and holds it securely. The trailer went together easily and quickly on my garage floor and was a fun project. It’s a sturdy well engineered product that tows equally well behind my Mazda CX-5 or my Mercedes Sprinter van. I couldn’t be more satisfied. Add to that the great price and what’s not to like?
Product seems good......parts were missing in initial shipment relating to trailer tung, tail light lenses was broken in initial shipment, paperwork to license trailer was omitted in original shipment.
Purchased a C.E. Smith sports utility trailer. Perfect transaction. Best price on the internet. Website made it easy to complete the order. Shipping was free and the trailer was delivered to my home is two days. Outstanding in every way.
Great trailer for my SunDolphin 120 Pro. Went together well, takes some time, but well worth it. Just be sure to take the time and make sure it's fitted to your boat - it's also worth it.
Perfect size for my 12 foot rowboat. Clear assembly instructions with no missing parts. Used many times this year with no problems and remain satisfied with my purchase
I give your product a five star rating. It's just like baking a cake. If you can follow the directions everything will turn out just right.
I like how every group of components had it's own bag of hardware to assemble it.
I wouldn't change a thing. I would recommend this product to a friend.
I really enjoy my trailer. Smooth drive on the highway. Also etrailer was most reasonable price compare to other competitors. Thanks
