Does anyone have any idea where I can get a bow roller system for a 99 Vista 258? I want to add a windless but unable to find a bow roller system. Thanks

It's going to be dependent on your nav lights.Here is a C/P from another request


Ok -- through Halls/Four Winn dealership in Grand Haven, MI they found the specific OEM bow roller and the latch mechanism for the chain. They will retrofit and install to my 258V.

It's more complicated than I originally thought -- they have to move the nav. lights (red/green) since that is smack dab in the front of the bow, and then perform surgery to the locker lid to allow the chain and rode to slide down from the bow - right now it's off to either side.

This has been discussed before, so you may want to try a search.

FW, used to have a bow roller assembly for the 258 Vista, I dont think they have anymore of them. When we had our 258, I bought what must have been the last ones from FW, but sold the boat before I ever had it installed, then ebayed the roller too.

It sort of a different setup, the stainless davit portion bolts on the bow of the boat below the rubrail and has some compund bends on it to make it line up right. Its hard to explain, but I would try calling FW and see if they can provide a drwing of it and have one fabricated.

Did you ever try calling four wins they don't even have a phone number. They keep referring to their dealers. If i wanted to get hosed that badly i'd set myself on fire. Their customer service sucks.
