Bow Roller Replacement Wheels

[Bob S]

The black roller wheel on my bow has gotten beat up by my anchor chain. I will be replacing it before launching. I googled and found them very reasonable price wise. Question: Lewmar has a white delrin roller. Is there a preference in material these are made from?
Curious minds!

West has those white/Delrin Lewmar rollers. There are also 4 types of trailer rollers that are in more sizes, and may be suitable for your needs.

Catalina Direct has exactly what you need, Bob. They're black rubbery, rather than white and hard plastic.

We find the hard plastic rollers hold up a huge tad better than the black rubber ones. When our yellowish hard plastic one died after over two years of daily use, the rubber one we replaced it with lasted only a month or less At a hair over $8.00 for the trailer roller, I'm sold that they are the answer to the custom made teflon rollers that came (broken) with the boat.

The yellow trailer roller is what I use on mine. Been there through many many times anchoring. Had to slice a tad off each side to get it in, but sure cheap enough.
