Shorelander TA0010 Bow Pad Support for Fishing Series Trailers

Description

The Shorelander TA0010 Bow Pad Support for Fishing Series Trailers is used to add additional support to the keel of your boat in the area over the tongue. It is adjustable forward and backward as well as up and down. It can be raised to the proper height to support your boat.
It also serves as a broader area for your boat to rest on, especially a flat bottom boat when it is being loaded. Once loaded the boat can be shifted to the center line of the keel rollers for proper support. At that time the bow support pad acts as an additional support for the keel of the boat similar to a keel roller.
