Boat Trailer bow roller scratches

[Ratket]

This one is exactly the same size as the yellow one on my Shorelander trailer. I wish I knew about this earlier, because I have a ton of scratches from the original.

Ya looks like a pretty accurate swap.
I’m going for this look though.

Had to go to Lowe’s and get a 7” bolt and two 1” washers, but it’s all good!

The 446 definitely fits the hull better.

+1 on the 446. If you have a 21' and are upgrading the roller for sure that's the best option.

Went out today for a few hours, this was the final result. I am very very pleased with this. Now to repair the gel coat. And maybe trim that bolt up.

Has anyone experience scratches on the bow due to the hard material on the stock Yamaha trailer bow roller? (hard plastic). Are there any other rollers available? (I guess a rubber one would be more gentle on the boat while towing)

Now, I have to figure out how to fix the scratches on the boat :-(

How did you fix the scratches?

I bought a bow protector... Piece of aluminum that sticks to the bow and the roller sits on that instead of the bow. Still need the better roller.
