Float -On trailer's extremely thin aluminum fender we climb into the boat using this fender and it's rear support

added 3/8 round stock to try and prevent future crack ups

another shot of the 3/8 round rod welded in to try and prevent cracks. We are trailering to Yellowstone and Grand Teton from Pa. in early August. so we shall see how well this works. It held up well 6600 miles no recracking.

fender support with brace installed

stainless steel bolt heads on the fender support show plate bolted in underneath step all the way thru and bolted to the trailers frame

Used existing hole and bolt added the turnbuckle mounted wiith backing plate tightened up turnbuckle. Did stiffen up fenders added to front and back both sides

rear of fender

backing plate

Ready to install fender brace provided by Float On.Seems like it should be longer and have different bends so it will attach further out on the fender mounting channel

Float- On fender braces added white dots are rain drops on camera lens

New fender braces by Float On another effort to keep fenders from shaking

Added gussets to light and licence plate bracket. Next need to add a loop of stainless steel stranded wire to loop around the frame and licence plate. The new bracket is also thicker adding the bottom gusset was a loser as it had to be cut away some to clear a bolt. The old bracket is laying on the floor

did both sides we have over 20k on our trailer. Don't want cheap brackets breaking and losing licence plate or letting LED lights get road rash.

the standard plastic license plate holder failed unit on right $1.99 replacement from Defender on left

5/16 thick multiply conveyor belting, 90 # stainless stranded fishing wire with crimped ends for license plate retention

side view of finished project, note plastic backing plate in between the license plate and the conveyor belting

stainless steel fishing wire rated #90 test with crimps crimpers

Rear view this should never break Used a 10.5" square piece of multiply conveyor belt. It can be cut with a sharp razor knife. Use over sized drill bits for holes when drilling the belt material. 30k + plus miles this is our original license plate.

Retaining cable fails in half hooking up in 11 degree weather. Coated cable looked to have had corrosion caused by road salt just past the crimp. Removed and replaced with chain

replaced cable with chains reused snap hooks

New to us Yamaha Motor stop for trailering

Just tilt motor up all the way

Just slid down over tilt rod. On our 150 hp motor there is a grease fitting that can interfere so we always use the port tilt rod

Lower motor until you squish the hard rubber a little and then trailer away
