Replacing Bow Strap and Winch Mount on on Older Shoreline Sailboat Trailer
Question:
Hello etrailer experts, I have an older Shoreline trailer for a 20 foot sailboat. As you can see from the photo below, I need to replace the bow stop assembly in whole or in part. I was thinking that I could do away with the swivel bracket that holds the two Y stops which are now styrofoam with tape around them and simply put a roller on the bracket that extends from the trailer. That bracket is 4 5/16 wide, so am not sure you have a roller that would be wide enough? If I need to keep the swivel bracket, the width for the Y stops would be 2 5/16 and again, I am not sure you have Y stops wide enough? Thanks for any advice or help.

That's a really interesting setup. We aren't really going to be able to help much if you want to use that winch mount in it's current configuration. If you could instead mount the winch like in the picture I attached you could then go with a different bow roller possibly. You'd be able to use the bow roller part # YR450Y-400Y you mentioned as well as the bracket part # CE31005PG.
