Bow Roller

[Bass Cat Boats]

Roller only and the rollers vary slightly from some years. Usually the 3 or 4 inch is referring to the diameter and yours are 3″ diameter.Last edited by Bass Cat Boats on April 5th, 2008, 3:08 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Thanks BCB, and DUHHHHHHHHHH!!! I never EVEN considered it being the diameter of the roller. But you know what is right for a P3 trailer, so a 3″ it is! I know what to get now. Thanks again!!

I noticed my bow roller doesnt look like its rolling. It has a big “burn” mark down the middle. Is that normal?

[Bass Cat Boats]

They are not set to roll and the black marks cleans fairly easy.

[PhilAddison]

Yes it could be normal if you are running the boat all the way up to the bow eye hard.

Mine is 3 years old with no problems. Is the rubber wore out? I have never seen that.

[Bass Cat Boats]

Take the boat off plane before trailering it. It will clear that problem right up.

Nice Tx76, though it is just worn from bumping it. We use that softer rubber to protect the gel, bow and shearing from impacting a harder roller. You might be bumping a bit hard, though it really is sometimes necessary. BCB

[Bass Cat Boats]

Not necessarily. They are a hard stop bumper for the bow eye to contact. BCB

I just ordered from the website and it came with the yellow center and black sides. I did not specify anything special.irv

i had a yellow roller on mine and it scratched the hell put of gel above the eye, so i went back to black

dont know what youre talking about or asking so Ill give it a shot. the yellow bow roller is made out of a tougher rubber than the black one and wont split near as easy. Since it harder and yellow, it wont leave a black streak from loading and unloading on the trailer. If you order one it comes with the two black end caps which has grooves cut into it so that it fits snuggly up against the yellow roller. This prevents the keel from findings it way between the black and yellow roller and damaging your bow with the metal frame. other than that i dont know what is up!?Last edited by PhilAddison on February 29th, 2012, 2:10 am, edited 1 time in total.

what i am refering to i thought bcb doesnt like the yellow rollers because it scratchres the gel or polyflake where it contacts! thats why i went back to black roller , disnt mean to come across ugly!! i just saw the yellow one on parts website. the yellow stoltz scratched mine bad so i bought the black one from bcb

[PhilAddison]

The black one is softer and scratches less, but doesnt last very long. Since it doesnt last as long, some dont notice that it splits/tears and it causes the keel to contact the thru bolt thus damaging keel.

Phil is correct. I prefer the softer black one though. Since they dont last as long, I carry a spare one in my truck, just in case. The black from the roller wipes right off the hull with any cleaner.
