Tie Down 86290 Amber 3 Inch PVC End Bell, 1/2 Inch Shaft

The Tie Down 86290 is an Amber 3 inch PVC end bell built to pair with a bow roller, extending the slope and improving alignment at the bow stand. It helps guide and protect the boat during loading by providing a smooth, non-marring surface where the hull makes contact. The end bell is made from Tie Down's enhanced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formula, which the manufacturer states outperforms traditional polyurethane rollers in cut resistance and shock absorption, while remaining non-marring so it will not mark or mar the boat's hull.

This end bell is sized for a 1/2 inch shaft and is finished in amber. It is designed for use on boat trailers as part of the bow stop and roller assembly, working alongside a bow roller to smooth the transition as the boat is winched into position. The single-piece PVC construction is built for long service life in wet, outdoor trailer environments.
