Tie Down Engineering 86285 Amber 3in PVC V-Bow Stop with 1/2in Shaft

The Tie Down Engineering 86285 is a 3-inch amber PVC V-Bow Stop designed to securely catch and guide the bow of your boat during trailer loading and unloading. Unlike a traditional spinning bow roller, this stationary V-shaped stop acts as a fixed bumper and catching point, centering the boat on the trailer and bringing it to a controlled, protected stop.

Constructed from Tie Down's enhanced poly vinyl (PVC) formula, this bow stop delivers long-lasting performance that outperforms traditional polyurethane products. The soft, non-marring surface cushions the boat's bow on contact, eliminating marks, scuffs, or scratches to the hull. Its cut-resistant material handles repeated use without degrading, and it is rated for use in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

Key Features:

• 3-inch V-shaped (C-Bow) stop profile for reliable bow guidance and positioning
• Amber poly vinyl (PVC) construction — long-lasting and non-marring
• Absorbs shock and impact during boat loading
• Cut-resistant material for extended service life
• Compatible with 1/2-inch diameter shaft/bolt
• 110° angle opening; 5-1/2-inch long opening span
• Suitable for saltwater and freshwater use
• Backed by a lifetime guarantee
• Made in the USA

The Tie Down 86285 V-Bow Stop is a straightforward replacement or upgrade for worn bow stops on a wide variety of boat trailers. Its versatile design suits most trailer setups and boat hull styles.
