C.E. Smith Bow Y-Stop - 3" x 3" - Yellow

The C.E. Smith Bow Y-Stop in 3" x 3" Yellow is a specialized padding component engineered for boat trailer systems and marine equipment mounting. Constructed from Thermal Plasticized Rubber (TPR), this non-marking protective stop delivers superior resilience compared to conventional black rubber while maintaining a softer composition than polyurethane—a critical balance for protecting boat bows and sensitive hull surfaces during transit and storage.

The mounting footprint measures 3" x 3" with a 5¾" span, designed for standard trailer frames and boatyard infrastructure. The ⅜" bolt diameter accommodates industry-standard trailer hardware and tie-down systems. Yellow TPR material provides high visibility in low-light conditions—essential for trailer inspections and securing operations on busy marinas or transport routes. TPR's material properties resist weathering, saltwater exposure, and UV degradation better than standard rubber compounds, extending service life through harsh marine environments.

This Y-stop is specified for boat owners, trailer operators, and marine facility managers who require dependable impact absorption without transferring force to hull gelcoat or fiberglass. The non-marking surface prevents staining and discoloration—critical for protecting finish value on larger vessels. Replacement or retrofit applications benefit from the standard mounting interface and C.E. Smith's established position in the marine hardware supply chain. Weighing just 0.4 lbs, the unit integrates seamlessly into existing trailer configurations without adding significant mass or complexity.
