{"product_id":"ce-smith-y-stop-bow-stop-3-inch-1-2-inch-shaft-rubber-boat-trailer-support","title":"CE Smith Y-Stop Bow Stop, 3 Inch, 1\/2 Inch Shaft, Rubber Boat Trailer Support","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe CE Smith 29551 Y-Stop is a rubber bow stop designed to cradle and support the bow of a boat on a trailer, keeping it centered and stable during towing, launching, and storage. The Y-shaped rubber body spans 6 inches with a 3 inch length and fits a 1\/2 inch diameter shaft, making it a straightforward fit for trailer setups built around that shaft size. It is built from sturdy rubber construction intended to hold up to repeated towing use and ongoing exposure to sun, water, and road elements without breaking down prematurely. The Y-Stop mounts to a trailer's frame or an existing bow stop bracket using the shaft, and installation follows a universal, straightforward attachment approach rather than a specialized mounting procedure. It functions as a direct replacement for original-equipment bow stops on trailers using standard bracket and shaft sizing, so it can be used to replace a worn, cracked, or torn stop without changing other trailer hardware. Because the rubber cradle reduces metal-to-hull contact at the bow, it helps prevent scuffing and excess movement of the boat while underway or sitting in storage. This part is sold as the rubber Y-Stop component itself, sized for trailers built around a 1\/2 inch shaft and standard Y-stop brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29551\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Trailer Bow Stop (Y-Stop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5625 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 x 4 x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768296002305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the CE Smith 29551 Y-Stop used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a rubber bow stop that cradles and supports the bow of a boat on a trailer, keeping the boat centered and reducing movement during towing and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shaft diameter does this Y-Stop fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CE Smith 29551 is sized for a 1\/2 inch diameter shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the CE Smith Y-Stop?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a span of 6 inches and a length of 3 inches, with a 1\/2 inch shaft diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the CE Smith 29551 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of rubber, chosen for durability under towing stress and outdoor exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the CE Smith 29551 Y-Stop weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This bow stop weighs 1.5625 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a direct replacement for the original bow stop on my trailer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the CE Smith 29551 is designed as a direct replacement for original-equipment Y-stops on trailers with standard bracket and shaft sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the CE Smith Y-Stop installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a universal design that attaches to a trailer's frame or existing bow stop bracket via the 1\/2 inch shaft, without a specialized mounting procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the CE Smith 29551 fit any boat trailer?\u003c\/strong\u003e It fits trailers built around a 1\/2 inch shaft and standard Y-stop brackets, covering a wide range of boat trailer setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the CE Smith 29551 come with?\u003c\/strong\u003e It includes the rubber Y-Stop bow stop component itself, sized for a 1\/2 inch shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy replace a worn Y-Stop bow stop?\u003c\/strong\u003e A cracked or torn rubber Y-Stop like the CE Smith 29551 no longer cushions the bow properly, which can let the boat shift or the hull rub against the trailer during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the CE Smith 29551 suitable for both towing and storage?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is built to provide stability and reduce movement both while a boat is being towed and while it sits in storage on the trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CE Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027475603675,"sku":"CES-29551","price":18.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51ionxN0DCL.jpg?v=1785330977","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/ce-smith-y-stop-bow-stop-3-inch-1-2-inch-shaft-rubber-boat-trailer-support","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
