Hey Dave, congrats on the new boat! To add a couple of step side fenders to your trailer, I recommend the Fulton Single Axle Trailer Fender with Top and Side Steps item # F008582. This 7-1/2" Wide x 33-1/2" long x 8-3/4" tall plastic fender has three steps built into it. One on top and one on each end. The grooved texture built into the steps will give you a reliable grip when standing on them.
We don't have any fenders that are going to match up with your current 12" on center mounting brackets. You'll need to use the Galvanized Steel, L-Shaped, Bolt-On Brackets for Plastic, Single-Axle Fender item # PF775-BKT-2 when installing the item # F008582. Both of these parts are sold individually.
Got any fun trips planned with your new boat?
