Bow Blocks

Myco wants $52ea + shipping for their bow blocks. What are they and why are they so expensive?

I've looked everywhere for them - closest I found was loading dock door bumpers (think semi-trucks) which were cut down to the correct length. But I haven't found any locally to judge if they are the same or not.

Manning is now using them. I believe they will sell them to you as well.

Why are they so expensive? Because they know $104 is short money in this hobby.

I don't have any pics handy, but I bought a couple of (8" I think?) terry buffing bonnets - the ones with elastic around the perimeter. I placed them over the D blocks to prevent scuff / black marks. Wifey squirts em down with Quick Detailer before I pull boat on the trailer. So that spot always gets a little wax.

Mine are blue (go figure!)

I wondered about that as I walked by my loadmaster this morning and noticed the blocks.

Seems like the rubber ones wold be more abrasive on the hulls than the older carpeted wood ones on the Myco trailers does anyone have any experience with using both?

carpet does work better IMHO,,,,I have the grey D bow stops and as soon as the boat makes contact with them its a B itch to winch the boat forward,,,tried applying wax on them and it really does not help,,and yes they still leave marks on the boat but at least its not black marks,,that is the reason a lot of guys cover them with a towel or a wax bonnet,,But they look better than carpeted blocks I guess LOL

Agreed they do look a lot better. I'll keep my carpet I guess though if they still leave marks. If I don't launch and load just right mine still gouge our wrap. The buffing pads as mentioned earlier did help though before I learned the "trick" to loading and unloading to avoid it. The round edge on the rubber ones I thought may help since they maybe don't contact as much of the bow when loaded possibly.

I have an extra pair if someone needs them.

They are the grey ones from Myco.
