Where is here?

rhode island

i dont boat in the salt... but... i would think just hose it down with WD-40 then hose it off after dunking it and keep it sprayed with WD would keep it nice?

its inside the box tube

I would sell it and get an aluminum trailer for the salt. The thing with those steel trailers is you can flush them to kingdom come....chip and paint...and they will fail in a spot you had no idea there was rust. It will happen at 5pm traffic while you are blocking 3 lanes.

we use a c channel steel myco...for the last 10 years...no problems.....all how you take care of it.....

aren't the axles on aluminum trailers steel ?

Usually galvanized steel.

My previous boat was on a steel trailer. We put the boat and trailer in salt water all the time. Just be sure to rinse well after both launch and retrieve. Salt water just rinses off, no power wash needed, just be sure to rinse everything really well. Sure, you'll get some rust at some point, but I went 5 years before selling the boat and the trailer was still in great shape. I did touch up any spots that started to rust. It sure won't fall apart in a year or two.

I bought that trailer in early November. Looks like they never deleted the ad.
