Choosing Fenders for a Small Sailboat Trailer
Question:
I need a pair of fenders for this little sailboat trailerpresumably to be mounted to the frame where the eye hook is located. I would like as much vertical depth, to cover the front and back of the tire, as possible. Either plastic or galvanized with a backbut without a stepwould do fine.

Expert Reply:
The fenders we carry are arranged by wheel size. Fender # F008563 is good for 13 inch wheels. I would need to know the tire size to make the best recommendation. Attaching the fender to the eyelet might be difficult but you would need to use an L-bracket such as # CE26061G-2 and attach it to the same mounting point as the eyelet and then to the fender.
I have included a link to our fender main page to the right so you can browse based on wheel size. The measurements are provided on each product page below the description so if the fenders that fit your wheel size do not have the dimension you want you could go to the next larger size.
