<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 86413 Hull Sav'r V-Bow Stop is a black polyvinyl V-style bow guard designed to protect your boat hull during trailering. Engineered for lasting performance on boat trailers, this bow stop cushions the bow of the boat against impact and prevents unsightly marks or scratches on the hull's finish.

Key Features:

  • Hull-Safe Polyvinyl Construction – Non-marking poly vinyl material will not mar or scratch the boat's surface
  • Shock Absorbing – Absorbs impact and road vibration to protect the bow during transport
  • Cut Resistant – Durable PVC material resists cuts and tears for long service life
  • Saltwater and Freshwater Compatible – Withstands exposure to both fresh and saltwater environments
  • Fade Resistant – High-quality material resists UV degradation and color fading
  • V-Style Design – 110° V-angle properly cradles and centers the bow on the trailer
  • 3-Inch Base – Compact 3" base fits standard bow stop brackets
  • 1/2-Inch Shaft Hole – Fits standard 1/2" trailer hardware shaft
  • Black Finish – Classic black color suits most trailer setups

The Tie Down Engineering 86413 V-Bow Stop is a direct replacement bow guard compatible with a wide range of boat trailers. Its polyvinyl construction outlasts rubber alternatives while keeping your hull safe trip after trip.

Fast shipping

I ordered tires for my boat trailer. They arrived three days later and were the correct tire and size. They were also the cheapest price I could on-line. I was extremely pleased with my first purchase on boatplicity.com. Thanks!

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Look forward in working with your team more in the future.

Simple and quick

Product delivered as expected and in perfect condition.

Ordered a GE RV AC. Received it quickly in good condition.

Thank you. You are cheaper than West Marine Pro, (although I have to pay shipping,) and faster than Amazon. My poor planning of immediate boat projects, and your products and ease of ordering and two day delivery work well.
