Bass Cat Fender

[PhilAddison]

You can replace fender on trailer with boat on trailer. There are bolts and nuts to remove and you will likely have to pry off due to adhesive used. You will need adhesive on the reinstall. Use wood blocks and C clamps to hold in place while the adhesive cures. Youll see where adhesive was used as you remove the old fender. Good luck!

I think so Soopa. Like you said, bolts, electrical and some adhesive if it wasnt knocked loose previously. Youll need some of the urethane adhesive to go back on with your new fender. When I did one, I used clamps to clamp the fender and waited several days to declamp. I believe others have set heavy objects on the fender and let the adhesive dry.

Although I have not done it, I have read many times that the trick to loosening the urethane adhesive is to apply heat to the metal part of the fender. Apparently it makes it much easier to pry it off.

That urethane stuff is SUPER sticky !! — Heating the metal is an excellent way to help it release . — Curing time for it on the reinstall is 24 hours , so overnight clamping / weighting , is all that is needed . — Hoss

Heat gun might work, look under your fender you will see the metal supports

I use a small propane torch to heat the metal bracket. Bernzomatic I think, about $15 at the hardware store.
