Question:
I have a new 2022 Wesco aluminum dual axle boat trailer. The fenders are very weak. One fender brace has already cracked as well as the step plate in front of fender. How can I beef up this trailer. Is it ok to use galvanized brackets with the aluminum?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use galvanized mounting brackets like the Mounting Brackets # CE26098G-2 to provide additional strength to your 2022 Wesco aluminum dual axle boat trailer.
We also have the Mounting Brackets # CE26236 for adding additional support to the top of the fender.
