I would like to find a winch/ bow stand for my 98 Nitro 800 bass boat. I was told by my dealer that the trailer is too old to get parts from the original supplier. I have searched extensively online and can't find a match.Does anyone know of a good source for this? Thanks

take it to a welding shop they can build you one an put your winch an rollers on it.

this ^ ^ find a picture, take boat with you so they can measure and let them weld r up.

Do you have access to a very basic stick welder? If so, these are VERY easy to make. If you do, you can make one from scratch or get a used one and modify it to fit your boat/trailer. For stuff like this, no need for MIG or TIG necessarily. They will work too, but stick is easier.

Thanks for the suggestions. What happened was one of the bow roller brackets cracked.Had my cousin weld it but It's not square anymore.

Grind the weld off. Heat the metal and then square it up. Then weld, but this time slower and at lower amps - not so much heat. The 'get a bigger hammer' approach does not work with welding. Blow outs (holes) and warped work is usually the end result. Harbor freight and similar places sell a very simple 110V MIG welder that is very easy to use and does not require gas. I have had one of those for years that I use from time to time. I think I paid $89 for it. Is it as good as my MUCH more expensive Miller welder? No. But if I am working on something that doesn't need to be pretty and just needs to hold, it is good enough. Plus, being 110V, I can use it most anywhere. Watch some Youtube videos and see if you can do it yourself.
