Question:
Hi. I would like to ask for advice on fender replacement. I have a tandem galvanized steel tube boat trailer that is used in saltwater. Current Fenders are 65” in bolt on with 14” tires. Can you recommend a replacement. Thanks

Hey Brant, since it's going to be in saltwater I would go with a stainless steel fender like the part # HP34VR which is 65 inches long and designed for 14 inch wheels like you have. Stainless definitely costs more but it won't rust like galvanized does eventually so it would be your best option.
