Trailer Fenders

[MetsFan9]

I have an early 90's Skeeter, with matching trailer. The fenders on my trailer are welded into the frame of the trailer if I remember correctly. One of my fenders when the boat was purchased, has some damage to the fender. Because I cannot remove the fender itself and replace with a new one, is there any fix for this? I see on the new trailers they have the molded painted fenders, unfortunatly I cannot remove mine as it is all attached. Do they make any type of molded fender that can be installed over the fender? It's a fender with a 2 foot or so step behind the wheel well and small angled step in front of the wheel well. Not sure if they make something like this that would install over the old fender. Thought I would inquire. I can post a picture later

Again the boat is in storage, but I believe the fender and steps are part of the trailer. I am hoping that this is not the case and is able to be removed and replaced. I believe it is a 1992 Custom EZloader for a 92' Skeeter SS90

Normally you'd just cut the old fender off and weld a new one on. Nomally the welds where the fender attaches to the frame and step are very small and can be ground off easily. Of course, you have to paint if you go with a new steel fender.

I am hoping the whole unit (fender and step) can be removed from the trailer. Didnt look underneath but I would imagine that this is bolted to the trailer on brackets like most other trailers. If so it will make this a bit easier. Do you think this may be able to be removed. Guess I will need to check.

My steps and fenders are welded, and I think most trailers are. Welding is faster and cheaper than nuts and bolts in an application like that.

My steps and fenders are welded together in one piece, but was not sure if these are welded directly to the frame of the trailer itself or if this whole structure is sitting on brackets that extend from the frame of the trailer. Not a welder so I wouldnt be able to remove and re-weld this to the trailer and frame.
