Recommended Bow Roller for Boat Trailers

Question:

Hello, I need a better bow roller on my sailboat trailer because the bolt sticks out from the roller and scratches my boats hull if it gets turned even a little to the side. Is there something you can recommend that would be better?

I like the Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers item # YR450B. This roller is 3-3/4" long x 3-1/4" in diameter and will replace the standard rubber bow roller on your boat trailer with this blue thermoplastic rubber version. It will help to prevent scratches and also serve as a bump stop.

This roller fits a 4" wide bracket with 1/2" diameter shaft. If this is not what you have let me know what size your bracket is and I can find you an option.

I have linked an installation and review video below.
