CE Smith 29553 Jon Boat Bow Stop, 3 x 3 Inch Black Natural Rubber Block for 3/4 Inch Shaft

The CE Smith 29553 Jon Boat Bow Stop is a replacement rubber bow stop block designed for original equipment on most boat trailers. Molded from solid black natural rubber, the block measures 3 inches by 3 inches and is built for a 3/4 inch shaft, matching the sizing used on many jon boat and small trailer bow stop assemblies. As the boat is winched forward onto the trailer, the bow stop block cushions and centers the bow against the trailer frame, protecting the hull from metal-on-hull contact and helping position the boat consistently for towing.

Natural rubber construction gives the block the flex and grip needed to absorb the shock of loading while resisting the effects of sun, saltwater, and repeated wet/dry cycling that trailer components are exposed to. Because it is sized to a standard 3/4 inch shaft, it is intended as a direct swap for worn or cracked bow stop blocks on trailers built around this shaft size, without requiring a different bracket or hardware. This is a component-level replacement part; it mounts onto an existing bow stop shaft and bracket assembly rather than including its own frame or winch stand.
