Holy Lord guys !! So .... my boat has the single axle trailer . After owning this for 4 years i have replaced the hubs TWICE !! Yep , twice !! Have had nothing but issues with this trailer since day one . So ... i decided to take the whole dam axle out and replace it with a Dexter Axle . So here begins a story . I ordered a 90inch which is factory size ( i do have custom wheels on my trailer also 17x9 wheels ) . After waiting for this axle i got a call from the company stating they were on back order and it could take up to 2 months before it lands ....well i wasnt happy and he stated "I have a 88 on the shelf i can send you TODAY and you will have it in 2 days " . I asked ok that is 2inches short than the 90 what if any issues am i going to run into ...he stated the only difference will be a half inch each side wheel. OK SEND IT .....well bad idea !! That in turn brought my wheels IN towards the boat about 2inches ON EACH SIDE so now my fenders lips are on the tire . So quick fix, cut the lip off and attach a new "plastic rub protector" right ...NOOOOO not that easy at all !! Tried and tried to make this work . So the options basically boiled down to buying wider fenders , cutting the olds out since they are welded not bolted and painting welding new in .....ugh it NEVER ends with this boat im telling you guys !! So i decided to buy a single fender same size and cut it in half , add the rolled lip parts to each side and welding those in . Have everything ready for welding and will update my pics once completed. What a pain in the ass when it could have been so simple !
