Replacement Fender for Single Axle Escort Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

Hey need some help with finding the correct white fender for my boat trailer. It’s the left side fender if sitting in the boat looking forward. The brackets are bent as well so will need them too. The brackets have a stud that go through the trailer square tubbing which is 2”x4”. If you don’t have those style brackets I would like to get two new fenders and the brackets and U-bolt clamps as well. And lights for them too. My trailer vin number is 405120BAX1C000142. It’s says it’s an escort chief maybe on it. Hard to read. My registration only says chie on it. And the tires on the trailer are 15”. Thanks for the help in this matter. Looking forward to hearing from you.

The only white fenders we have that will fit your 15" wheels are the # PF11X35W-2. We also have reports that this was a match for a 2000 Escort boat trailer, so it is likely this is the same part. If you decide you only want to place the one fender we do have a single fender available as well # PF11X35W.

We don't have the same mounting bracket style so you would need the # PF1135-BKT-2. The mounting holes on the brackets are 3-5/8" apart so you would need to acquire U-bolts from your local hardware store that match the holes and will fit around your frame.

For lights, you can use the Thinline LED Clearance and Side Marker Light # AL91AB. Depending on how you want to mount them to the fenders, you can use a grommet # A91GB or bracket # A91BOB.

I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.

I was able to go out to the warehouse and measure the mounting brackets holes for the PF11X35W and found that it was 5-5/16 inches or 5.3125 inches. If these aren't an exact match, new holes can usually be drilled into the brackets to make…

We unfortunately can't find bearing information based on VIN. It definitely sounds like you have the traditional 3,500 lb axles that will simply use the bearing kit #BK2-100. Each axle will have a max capacity of 3,500 lbs so that will be…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and…

Answer 9

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 10

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…
