Choose a Fender for Your Trailer
Single-Axle Trailer Fenders
A single-axle fender covers one wheel position on each side of the trailer. When replacing an existing fender, check the wheel size specified for the new product, then compare its overall length, width, and height with the space available on your trailer. Also note whether your existing brackets can be reused or new mounting hardware is needed.
Tandem Trailer Fenders
Tandem fenders span two wheel positions and must fit the trailer's axle spacing as well as its tires. Wholesale Marine carries adjustable tandem options, but adjustability does not eliminate the need to measure. Compare the product's adjustment range, overall dimensions, and mounting requirements with your trailer before purchasing.
Plastic or Galvanized Steel?
Plastic trailer fenders provide a lightweight replacement option and are available in styles sized for specific trailer wheels. Check the product's mounting instructions and any stated load capacity. Do not assume a plastic fender can be used as a step.
Galvanized steel trailer fenders offer a metal option for shoppers matching an existing trailer setup or planning a new installation. Some styles can be drilled to suit different mounting arrangements. Review the product specifications and the condition of your trailer's brackets before deciding how to install a replacement.
For example, compare the dimensions and available options for the Tie Down Galvanized Metal Trailer Fender with your current fender before ordering.
What to Measure Before Replacing a Trailer Fender
- Wheel and tire size: Check the wheel sizes the fender is designed to accommodate.
- Fender dimensions: Compare the overall length, width, and height with your old fender and available space.
- Tire clearance: Confirm the new fender will leave adequate clearance for the tires throughout normal trailer use.
- Axle layout: For tandem trailers, measure the space the fender must cover across both wheels.
- Mounting points: Check bracket location, frame clearance, and whether the fender requires separate hardware.
Wholesale Marine also carries fender brackets, mounting kits, and step pads. Check each accessory's dimensions and compatibility with your fender and trailer. If you plan to step on a fender or attached pad, verify that the complete installed setup is rated for that use.
Boat Trailer Fender FAQs
How do I choose the right size boat trailer fender?
Start with your trailer's wheel and tire size, then compare the replacement fender's length, width, height, and mounting requirements with your existing setup. For a tandem trailer, check the space the fender must cover across both wheels.
Will a replacement fender fit my existing brackets?
It may, but bracket spacing and mounting styles vary. Compare the new fender's mounting requirements with your current brackets before ordering. You may need a compatible bracket kit or other mounting hardware.
Can I stand on a plastic boat trailer fender?
Only if the specific fender and its installed mounting setup are rated for that use. Some plastic trailer fenders have no load capacity, so check the product specifications rather than assuming the fender is a step.
What is the difference between a single and tandem trailer fender?
A single-axle fender covers one wheel position. A tandem fender spans two wheel positions and must fit the trailer's axle spacing, tires, and mounting arrangement.
