Ok, I'm doing maintenance on my world-famous 97 X trailer, and the roller at the front has had it.

Where can I get a replacement?

At the front of the trailer, that the bow fits in - to keep it from hitting any metal. 8)

I bought my roller and bracket, that I mounted to help the bow get into the little vee-bunk at the front, at WM. But even Wallyworld sells loose rollers, I believe. Probably has a standard size hole, but I don't know that. I'm kind of guessing, as I've never owned a trailer with rollers before, and mine only has a roller because I'm the one who added it. :D

I added a roller to my trailer at the bow bunks several years ago. I have found it quite useful. I bought it at West Marine.

Thx, I'll post a picture this week, hiyo west marine 8)

And in fact, there are 4-6 other Max trailers at the yard. Not one of them has it. But it's a neat thing to have, I think. :)

Ah foun' it - and they have just the replacement roller for $9. :)
