Q1: what vendor is a good source for a matching replacement fender and matching replacement wheel for a KARAVAN trailer [of unspecified model] that was carrying a 2005 170 MONTAUK boat?
BACKSTORY
While six miles away from an exit, I had a flat tire while towing my 2005 170 MONTAUK boat on an Interstate Highway in May 2024. The tire disintegrated and damaged the fiberglass fender. Fortunately I did have a good spare tire on wheel, and I was back on the road in an hour.
I'd like to buy a fender and rim (wheel) that match the originals.

Usually a boat trailer will have a VIN metallic stick-on plaque that may include information about the model designator used by the trailer manufacturer for that particular trailer. Having that information may make finding the correct replacement parts easier.

I will also endorse Eastern Marine as a good source for parts for trailers. I have purchased replacement parts for my boat trailer from them.Phil T wrote:http://www.easternmarine.com sells OEM parts, including fenders.
The guys that answer the telephone actually know a lot about boat trailers and the components used in them. Your call won't be answered by some 20-year-old girl who has never held a socket wrench who will gladly let you order the wrong part.

Thank you very much guys!
I'll look for the metallic label with the model information and then I will contact Eastern Marine.
Thanks again!
