Is it 4 in or 3 in bought mine at the local boat dealer.

If you are talking about the big rubber v.

Hey guys, can't tell you how big it is as I never had one on it. Guess it broke off somewhere between Cali, the Panama Channel and Europe. It's an'83 with the big rubber v.

So who can help me out with the size? Can't measure it right now since I'm over here and totally forgot about that part.

I can measure mine on the CV23 tonight.

Well a size would help but then I'd also need a place to get them.

Bow Stop

Carlson_from_Germany · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2015, 03:14:35 PM »

But they are all with a hole through the middle aren't they? The original has like a Y shaped cut.

carlsoncvx18 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 23, 2015, 03:32:05 PM »

Well the cvx18 is put to bed with no access till spring.

I replaced mine on the 18 trailer, getting old but I think it was s 4" base if I remember correctly

Jason · « **Reply #11 on:** November 23, 2015, 04:31:56 PM »

4" x 4"

Carlson_from_Germany · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2015, 05:27:41 PM »

Okay but that's a different trailer. Mine is like the first pics. There is no hole to put a bolt through.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2015, 05:53:57 PM »

Did a search for "Boat trailer bow stop" and could not find anything with out a hole ?
Except for pontoon trailer stops that bolt to large metal pads.

Carlson_from_Germany · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2015, 06:09:28 PM »

Well you posted the bow stop I have and it doesn't have a hole. It's hard to explain for me. It kinda just like sits on top of the V shaped metal bars. I guess I'll just have to wait until I get home and maybe change it to the one with the hole then.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2015, 07:20:16 PM »

OK ...
Pictures I posted were from the 1983 brochure, blown up to 400 %.

Not much help ... But the 1983 Trailer spec's

Id buy a 3x3 and a 4x4. My later conroy trailer used a 4x4 I think. Here's a pic of what you probably have, right?

I'm guessing you could easily modify the trailer to fit this one:

Just drill a hole and bend, cut, or plasma the top metal out of the way.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #17 on:** November 23, 2015, 07:53:34 PM »

Weird set up ...
Mystery solved !

Carlson_from_Germany · « **Reply #18 on:** November 23, 2015, 08:51:47 PM »

Yes Ray that's the set up I have. So no one knows where I could actually get one like that? If not I'm just gonna go with the other one (I think I can get that one in Germany as well). If not I'll just order it here in the states.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think all the aluminum trailers had the first set up and the steel trailers the second.

rayar3 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2015, 09:57:51 PM »

That's what I think, too. I didn't notice until after I posted the pics that it was an aluminum trailer. That top pic is from Old Red's site by the way. Didn't mean to steal the pic, but it was the best one on Google. Maybe send him a message or an email if he knows if eyre available?
