<h3>About Tie Down Engineering</h3><p>Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Tie Down Engineering has spent more than five decades earning its reputation as a global leader in custom manufacturing. What started as a focused effort to deliver better-engineered solutions for American industries has grown into a multi-division powerhouse serving markets that range from marine and mobile home to roofing, agriculture, renewable energy, and beyond. Every product Tie Down makes reflects an engineering-first philosophy — and, notably, they're all proudly made in the USA.</p><p>Tie Down operates six specialized manufacturing divisions, each dedicated to a specific market vertical. This structure lets the brand go deep rather than wide, developing purpose-built hardware that holds up under real-world conditions rather than generic components that merely check a box. Whether you're a boat owner, a contractor, or an OEM trailer manufacturer, there's a good chance Tie Down has already engineered the part you need.</p><h3>Trailer &amp; Marine Product Highlights</h3><p>Among the brand's most recognized product lines are its <a href="/6667-tie-down-eng-fender-1380">trailer fenders</a>, which are a staple for boat trailer owners and OEM builders alike. Tie Down offers fenders in galvanized steel, aluminum, and high-impact polyethylene, covering wheel sizes from 8 inches all the way up to 14–15 inches. Their innovative bracket-less plastic fender design mounts directly to the trailer frame without requiring separate fender brackets — a practical solution that simplifies installation and keeps the setup clean. UV-protected finishes on their plastic fenders resist fading, cracking, and degradation over time, making them a smart choice for trailers that see frequent saltwater exposure.</p><p>Equally important for safe trailering are Tie Down's <a href="/6667-tie-down-eng-safety-chains-cables-accessories-200888">safety chains, cables, and accessories</a>. These zinc-plated and galvanized products serve as the critical backup connection between a tow vehicle and its trailer, providing peace of mind in the unlikely event of coupler failure. Tie Down's safety chain lineup spans Class 2 through Class 4 ratings — from 3,500 lb. to well beyond 5,000 lb. carrying capacities — ensuring there's a properly rated option for light boat trailers and heavier-duty towing applications alike. Chains are sold in pairs and come with durable S-hooks for straightforward installation.</p><h3>Why Tie Down Engineering?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>55+ years of manufacturing experience</strong> rooted in engineering excellence</li><li><strong>American-made products</strong> built with domestic craftsmanship</li><li><strong>Six specialized divisions</strong> serving marine, agricultural, roofing, and other industries</li><li><strong>Broad material selection</strong> — galvanized steel, aluminum, and high-impact polyethylene options</li><li><strong>OEM and aftermarket coverage</strong> for trailer builders and individual owners</li></ul><p>For anyone who trailers a boat, hauls equipment, or maintains a fleet of utility trailers, Tie Down Engineering's catalog represents a reliable, well-engineered choice backed by decades of field-proven performance.</p>

Product Details

The Tie Down Engineering 86402 is a 3-inch black PVC bow roller designed to protect your boat's hull during trailering. Part of Tie Down's Hull Sav'r series, this bow roller mounts on the trailer winch stand and serves as a cushioned bow stop, keeping your boat properly centered and preventing direct contact between the hull and metal brackets or hardware.

Key Features:

  • 3-inch outer diameter with a 1/2-inch center shaft hole for compatibility with standard trailer bow brackets
  • Molded from enhanced PVC — outperforms traditional polyurethane rollers in durability and longevity
  • Non-marking surface — will not scuff, stain, or damage your boat's hull or gel coat
  • Cut and fade resistant — holds up against repeated use and outdoor exposure
  • Shock-absorbing construction — cushions the bow from road vibration and impact during transport
  • Aids in boat alignment during loading and unloading, helping center the hull on the trailer
  • Sold as a center roller only — end bells and mounting hardware sold separately

The Tie Down Engineering 86402 is a straightforward, reliable replacement for worn, cracked, or distorted bow rollers. Compatible with most standard boat trailers used with fishing boats, jon boats, and small watercraft.

I received exactly what I ordered and received the fed/exactly ground in 3 days. A job well done.

You guys got me the part very fast. Thanks

Totally satisfied start to finish. I'll buy from them again.

Quick and easy. I can&amp;#039;t tell if the tire is New or how much gas life is on it of the tire is used. Pictures make it look like the tire does not have much, if any, wear.

These peeps were great.Very fast shipping and very fair price. Would buy from them again and again!!!

Easy purchase and searching
