It centers and cushions the bow of the boat as it is loaded and hauled, reducing direct contact between the hull and the trailer bracket. The molded PVC construction absorbs impact during loading and transport, helping prevent damage from bolts or brackets on the bow stand and reducing scraping, cracking, or impact marks on the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roller has a 3 inch width and a center shaft hole sized for a 1\/2 inch shaft, making it compatible with most standard trailer bow stop brackets built around that shaft size. It is supplied as the center roller only, so mounting hardware and end bells are separate components. The roller is a simple, direct swap for a worn or damaged bow roller using your existing trailer hardware, and Tie Down Engineering also produces matching end bells designed to pair with the bow roller to extend the slope and improve alignment at the bow stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86289\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\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\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Inches Long x 0.5 Inches Wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Trailer Bow Roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Inch PVC Bow Roller (mounting hardware and end bells sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size shaft does the Tie Down Engineering 86289 bow roller fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86289 roller has a center hole sized for a 1\/2 inch shaft, matching most standard trailer bow stop brackets built around that shaft size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is part number 86289?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part 86289 is amber, the 3 inch size in Tie Down Engineering's PVC bow roller line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the full bow stop assembly or just the roller?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86289 is the center roller only.
