Tie Down Engineering 86260 Offset Fender Brackets for 8 and 12 Inch Metal Fenders, Galvanized, Pair

The Tie Down Engineering 86260 Offset Fender Brackets are galvanized steel mounting brackets built for 8 inch and 12 inch metal trailer fenders. They mount to the trailer side frame in an offset configuration, positioning the fender bracket away from the frame rail to match the profile of metal fender designs that require offset clearance rather than a flush mount. Sold as a pair, these brackets give you both mounting points needed to secure one fender to your boat trailer.

Constructed from galvanized metal, the 86260 brackets are built to resist corrosion in the marine and road-salt environments that boat trailers are regularly exposed to, helping the mounting hardware hold up over years of launching, towing, and storage. The offset design creates a secure, stable attachment point that keeps the fender aligned and firmly in place during transport, reducing stress on the fender and preventing the rattling or shifting that can lead to fender damage over time.

These brackets are intended for 8 inch and 12 inch metal fenders specifically. If your trailer uses plastic fenders or requires a flush mounting style instead of offset, a different Tie Down Engineering bracket is the correct fit, so confirm your fender type and mounting style before ordering.
