Installation Guide
Follow these steps for a secure installation:
- Ensure the boat is securely positioned off the trailer and the trailer is parked on a level surface. Chock the trailer wheels for safety.
- Identify the bow stop winch stand and locate the existing roller that needs replacement.
- Use appropriate wrenches to loosen and remove the nut from the bolt or shaft holding the old roller in place.
- Slide the shaft out of the mounting bracket and remove the old, worn-out roller.
- Clean the shaft and the inside surfaces of the mounting bracket to remove any rust or debris.
- Align the new polyurethane roller with the mounting holes on the bracket.
- Slide the 1/2 inch shaft through the bracket and the center hole of the new roller.
- Re-install the washer and nut on the end of the shaft, tightening it securely.
- Ensure the roller can still spin freely with minimal resistance. Do not overtighten.
- Check the final alignment to ensure it will properly guide the boat's bow when loading.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this roller will fit my specific boat trailer?
A: This is a universal roller designed for a 1/2 inch shaft. Measure your trailer's existing roller shaft diameter and an available width of at least 4 inches on your bow stop bracket. The roller's total length is 7 inches.
Q: What is the advantage of a polyurethane (PU) roller over a traditional rubber one?
A: Polyurethane is a superior material for this application as it is highly resistant to damage from sunlight, oil, and marine growth. It is also non-marking, meaning it will not leave scuffs or scratches on your boat's hull, unlike some rubber rollers.
Q: Will this roller crack or degrade over time?
A: The PU construction is designed for longevity and is much more durable than standard rubber. It resists cuts, abrasions, and the harsh marine environment, preventing the cracking and splitting common with older materials.
