Ok, I am completely going thru my trailer and painting replacing….and on and on…. Before I took everything apart, the carpeted part that goes between the fender and the boat (flat carpeted part that screws to the fender) was already rotted and gone. So I am making a new part to replace it BUT as I am cutting and forming it to screw to the fender, I am not sure if the board is supposed to go on the boat side of the two pieces of metal welded to the frame behind each tire or does it go on the tire side of it. It seems like it would rest on the boat side of it to keep the board from flopping into the tires going down the road, but when it is in that position it seems a little difficult to get a good fit and be able to screw the piece to the back side of the fender all the way tight until the fender meets the frame at both ends. I hope to post a pic. Im sure this is clear as mud, but for those who have done this you probably know what I am referring to. Thanks
BTW mine is a tandem axle 1996 trailer that came with my fishunter
