Default Trailer: Bow Stop Or Bow Roller?

Bow rollers seem notorious for scuffing the bows of boats. Should I replace mine with a bow stop like this one from Overton's?

I'm swapping my roller out for the stop that Myco uses. It says it is non-marking...

I no longer have a roller because of the scaring and scratches. I installed a bow catcher and love it.

Bow rollers mar the finish of boats because they usually do not roll. Something I posted on another site but a quick and easy fix.

It appears that OSO does not think to highly of other boating forums. That's disappointing.

Try replacing the *** with the word ***************. Now if this doesn't go through I will start believing in an OSO conspiracy theory. And I just sent them money too.

Thank you. Yes, that's sad they would block other forums!

A search turned up your thread. Interesting. Tomorrow will be my first time out this year and I will see if the roller turns and go from there.
