Bow Stop Winch Stand Strap “Bull Horn” Bracket 250-022696-10

Galvanized EZ Loader Bow Stop Strap / Bull Horn Bracket

 Compatible Winch Stand and Bow Support Setups

The Bow Stop Strap “Bull Horn” Bracket 250-022696-10 is an EZ Loader galvanized steel bow stop strap commonly referred to as a bull horn bracket. This part is used on compatible EZ Loader trailer winch stand and bow support setups where the bow stop, bow roller, or front support hardware attaches near the winch mount area.

This bow stop strap helps support the front bow stop arrangement and is commonly used as part of the trailer’s winch stand hardware system. On many EZ Loader setups, these bull horn-style straps work with the winch mount, bow roller, bell ends, bow stop hardware, bolts, and related front support parts to help position the boat correctly at the bow.

This is a common service replacement part when the original bow stop strap is bent, rusted, missing, worn, or damaged. Correct fitment depends on the trailer model, VIN, winch stand layout, winch mount style, bow roller setup, mounting hole pattern, and original EZ Loader trailer configuration.

This part is not a complete bow stop assembly, winch stand assembly, roller kit, bell end kit, or hardware kit. It is one galvanized bow stop strap / bull horn bracket only unless otherwise stated.

Typical EZ Loader Trailer Applications

This bow stop strap is commonly used on compatible EZ Loader boat trailer winch stand setups. It may be found in the front bow support area where the bow roller, bell ends, winch mount, and related hardware are installed.

This part is often referred to as a bull horn strap or bull horn bracket because of its shape and location in the bow stop assembly. Fitment depends on the exact winch stand and bow roller configuration.

Why This Bow Stop Strap Matters

The bow stop and winch stand area helps control where the boat stops at the front of the trailer. If the bow stop strap is bent, rusted, missing, or incorrect, the bow roller or bow support hardware may not sit correctly.

A properly matched bow stop strap helps keep the bow support system aligned with the winch strap, bow eye, D-ring, and front trailer support area.

Freshwater and Saltwater Trailer Use

This galvanized bow stop strap may be used on compatible boat trailers operating in freshwater or saltwater environments. Galvanized steel is commonly used on boat trailer components because it helps provide corrosion resistance in wet and road-exposed conditions.

Saltwater use is more demanding than freshwater use. For best long-term service, rinse galvanized trailer parts after saltwater exposure, inspect hardware regularly, and replace worn, damaged, or heavily corroded components as needed.

Installation Considerations

• Confirm the trailer uses bow stop strap part number 250-022696-10 before ordering when possible.
• Compare the existing strap length, width, thickness, shape, and mounting hole pattern.
• Inspect the bow roller, bell ends, bolts, locknuts, washers, winch mount, winch stand post, winch strap, and safety chain during service.
• Replace damaged or severely corroded mounting hardware as needed.
• Confirm the bow roller and bow stop area align correctly with the boat bow eye or D-ring after installation.
• Verify the boat loads and rests correctly against the bow support area before regular use.

Fitment Guidance

This is not a universal bow stop strap for every trailer. Correct fitment depends on the trailer model, trailer VIN, winch stand style, winch mount type, bow roller layout, mounting hole pattern, and original EZ Loader trailer configuration.

• Confirm part number 250-022696-10 when possible.
• Confirm the existing strap shape and dimensions before ordering.
• Check the winch mount and bow roller setup for matching hole spacing and layout.
• Confirm whether the existing bow roller, bell ends, bolts, nuts, and washers will be reused.
• Send photos if you are unsure about fitment.

Real-World Insight

The bow stop strap is a small part, but it sits in one of the most important areas of the trailer. If it is bent or missing, the front bow support may not line up correctly. This can affect how the boat loads, how the bow roller contacts the hull, and how the winch strap pulls against the bow eye or D-ring.

When replacing this strap, it is smart to inspect the entire bow support area instead of replacing only one part. Bow rollers, bell ends, winch mount hardware, and bolts often wear together.
