    This issue isn’t motor related but maybe someone out there has an idea. I’m getting ever so close to launching the boat, but I have a final trailer issue. The trailer is the original trailer that came with the 1957 14′ Whitehouse boat, and the Evinrude 35 motor. The trailer is a Mastercraft. The trailer issue is the bow stop. It does not have one of the newer one-piece V shaped stops with a bolt hole for mounting. Rather it has two rubber “sleeves” that slide over a metal shaft (flat), one on each side and the bow would be pulled up snug to them. I have only one sleeve however, and need another. The rubber sleeve is approx 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide and 1 inch thick and has a groove cut out of the center so it can slide on. The one I have is OK but if replacements were available I’d gladly buy a pair. Any ideas of a source or possibly a different solution?

    How about some rubber strips and Gorilla Glue?

    Pardon me if my imagination of what you’ve got isn’t what it should be…..But here are some rubber tubes. Nothing like what you describe really but maybe you could use a piece of them, somehow? Do both sides, to match?

    The products available from McMaster look good. I checked into them and I can only buy in quantity – way more than I need, It has given me, though, some ideas of how to cover the other “arm” with some kind of rubber, I just need to think about it some more.
