Fender swap

[26nitro]

Has anyone ever changed out metal fenders for fiberglass fenders? Or is this possible? New z8 will be here tomorrow and I was wondering if I could buy the fiberglass fenders and install them on nitro trailer. I should have asked BPS but too late boat is already on delivery

[mlangfordfishing]

Im not sure if im allowed to post this, but I have a brand new set still in the box if your interested from my z9.

[26nitro]

I would be interested if I can find out if they will work , what color are they?

[Big Fish Mike]

I'm interested as well if 26nitro decides he doesn't want them.

All I ask is why? Fiberglass you are so limited....

[Big Fish Mike]

Limited as far as?

[grayline]

The biggest thng ive seen is when you have a blow out the fender goes with it and when you have to get one you have to buy 2 and you have to buy the color you want and not always redily availible. 2nd there almost double what a metal fender is .
3rd you cant stand on them ..

Interesting. I've never had fiberglass on any boat trailer so I had no idea. Just thought they looked nice. Thanks for the input.

I've had 2 blow outs with my fiberglass fenders. No noticeable damage to the outside. There is also a step build into it on the bottom and top...I use it all the time to board the boat. They are very sturdy.

I stand on mine all the time, and they won't rust.

[26nitro]

Just interested in the looks , not planning on standing on them anyways even the metal ones.

Can anyone tell me how hard this is , maybe some pointers? Thanks

when you unbolt metal fenders your step plates will still be there. I dont think
you can put the fiberglass ones on right over those step plates, unless they
are bolt on too----i dont know but thought these steps were welded on......
I bought a trailer from buds motorsports that came from the factory with
fiberglass fenders. Tracker removed them before i bought it so i got it real
cheap. BUT....once removed, there were 3 bolt-on supports left: 2 behind the
wheels and 1 larger support in front of wheels. I dont think these would be
there on a trailer that came from factory with metal fenders.....just my thoughts

[BMCD]

I don't think its hard, never done it though.

Have blown 3 tires with fiberglass fenders. Have cracked and chipped the fender, but never destroyed it. They r fiberglass and can be repaired.

[Big Fish Mike]

It's not hard. I've had my metal fenders off before. They bolt on.

BMCD, do you stand on your fiberglass?

[BMCD]

Yes all the time. Gotta use them to get in the boat. And I've lost some weight, but I'm still 250lbs

[Sarge82]

Do they sale fiberglass finders for the Z7 trailer? Love the look but can live with mine if they don't.

[Big Fish Mike]

My steps in front of and behind the fender are bolted on.

I've looked everywhere for those step plates
And have come up empty. Before I fabricate
My own, does any body know where to get
Some step plates for a 911 trailer? Sorry if
High jacking the OP...
