I did a lot of searching on the forum and online and couldn't find a good match. I want to get a good quality poly not rubber roller.
I measured the width of the mount and came up with 3.5" and no one seems to make one, choices are either 3" or 4". Is there a 3.5" or do you go with a 3" and not crank it down to let it spin?

The inner rubber on mine is 3" and then the outer bells. I have not had to replace one, but the Stoltz brand have been recommended on various sites. They can be purchased at various locations. http://www.stoltzind.com/bowstops.html

Agree on the Stoltz for sure but it is either 3 or 4 nothing between.

what if you just got the 3" and put some spacers on either side so it didn't move laterally.

If your trailer is a boatmate email Jerry your Vin and he can tell you which size you need.

Thought about that but was worried if there is a gap using a spacer the hull may have a place to get gouged if it slips between the roller and the bracket. I would need to have some kind of rubber spacer so the hull doesn't get damaged. Maybe a 4" and cut center part down by .5" on the band saw? That should work come to think of it.

Thanks. I was on their site and they only have the 3 & 4". I may end up doing that or just cutting one down. My hull is really getting a lot of black crap on it. Seems to be getting worse.
