Is this considered going overboard ?

I remove my trailer fenders to clean the section of the boat blocked by the fenders others must do it I can't be the only ocd dude

As a fellow OCD type, I understand completely... wish it was easier to remove them from my Ranger.

I don’t but it’d sure make cleaning easier!

I've had mine off several times. I had to work on those junky screws holding the plastic fender wells in. Completely re-done that mess, no more carpet or screws.

[WVBullet]

I probably am going to remove them to change out the screws.

Do yourself a favor and replace them with #8 flute head bolts, lock washers, and Teflon lock nuts.

I googled #8 flute head bolt and didn't come up with something that makes sense. Please post what you mean.

Get some snorkeling gear... When the water warms up take a swim and clean the whole thing... Even allows you to check the hull for scratches... Dan
