Installing Stoltz ULT-4 Ultimate Bow Stop Roller

[Murf'n'surf]

There is usually enough flex in the trailer to give you room. If you drive over a gradual hump and leave the trailer tires lower than the hitch, the bow should rise away from the roller.

I just changed mine out when I took the boat to the lake - 5 minutes and done

I put this roller on last year and now am starting to have rub marks all over the bow of my boat. Is anyone having this problem?

I get 'marks' of the roller leaving itself on my boat. But they rub right off with my finger. Absolutely no damage to my boat. Is that what you are seeing?

 

[Bennie]

Yeah - and I never got those from the original roller. However my "marks" aren't just rubbing right off.

I wonder if you got a fake or defective roller. Is it orange? Where did you get it?

 

[Bennie]

More of a reddish/orange. I bought it from Amazon. I want to say about $50

 

[Bruce]

Does it look like mine in the first post of this thread? It is somewhat soft to the touch?

 

[Bennie]

Here's the one I purchased.

That's the correct roller. Do the marks rub off easily? Are the marks from the old roller?

 

[Bennie]

Is definitely soft. I think that's why it keeps leaving those marks all over the bow. Perhaps that's just a trademark of that kind of roller due to it's density.

The marks are new. The Stolz was my first mod back in May of last year when we got the boat. When I get home I'll take some pics and send them to you.

I'm offshore now, and won't be leaving till June 12th.

Oil rig?

Oh, please say yes and that you drive your boat to work... hehehe

 

[Bennie]

Yes, but I don't see our boats making it out this far. Trust me, I've crunched the numbers.
We're about 12hrs out from Port Fourchon, LA. That's a LONG boat ride. Our helicopter ride is still close to an hour to get onto site.
