3-Inch Boat Trailer Bow Stop Roller Shaft

Product Details

This boat trailer bow stop roller shaft is designed for use with a 3-inch boat trailer bow-stop roller. It provides the support point for the roller during boat loading and unloading and is intended as a replacement shaft for compatible trailer hardware.

This is a single replacement shaft, not a roller kit. The application is a 3-inch boat trailer part. Because trailer brackets and rollers vary, confirm the shaft diameter, usable length, bracket width, and roller bore against your existing components before ordering.

• For a 3-inch boat trailer bow-stop roller application.
• Replacement shaft for compatible boat trailer hardware.
• Single shaft supplied; roller, bracket, and additional hardware are not included unless separately stated with your order.
• Aftermarket replacement component; no verified OEM part-number cross-reference is available for this listing.

Application

This shaft is intended for a 3-inch boat trailer bow-stop roller. It may be suitable for other trailer roller arrangements only when the shaft and mounting dimensions match. The 3-inch application size does not by itself confirm compatibility with every brand or model.

4. Confirm that the replacement shaft can pass through both bracket sides and the roller without excessive side-to-side movement.
