Launch & Retrieve Roller Extender Option

With the L & R Boat Latch, launching and retrieving your boat should be easy. But when the roller is not extended enough, this could lead to challenges. This is where the Roller Extender option comes into play.

When it’s working well, the roller acts as a bumper, wedging between the bow of your boat and the towing eye. It also helps keep the boat from moving up and down on the trailer when being towed. But when the roller is not long enough, this can lead to challenges with launching and retrieving your boat.

The Roller Extender is used where the roller needs to be able to project out further to the bow. This is more commonly required on Towing Eye (Aluminium) boats.

Features

The Roller Extender kit includes 2 x 6mm plates and you will need six ½” bolts 1” long (M12 x 25 mm), galvanised bolts with washers and nylon locking nuts.

Adjustment ability

There are 4 adjustment horizontal positions. The bolts locate in one of these and the other pair of bolts go in slotted holes, allowing the roller/wedge to swing up/down for vertical adjustment. This can project out 43 to 91 mm. (1.7” to 3.6”)

The 2 lower bolts are fixed so that the bolt or nut heads are located against the vertical Roller supports of the winch platform, as shown, limiting movement.

Example

Here is an example of an Aluminium Towing Eye boat where the roller should be further forward.

In this case, the snare is very close to hitting the winch platform when the roller is against the bow.
