Bonita Dan, If I lived in Pensacola I would never need to buy Corrosion X again.
I had to edit cause the oil situation ain't even funny. And I rinse it all, sometimes dunk it in the lake after a pure salt run. The original drum brakes were toast due to corrosion. There is just no stopping it, but we can slow it down.
Reel, that is cold but accurate.
I travel all over to launch and play. My favorite spot is about 180 miles one way. Lakeland to Suwannee.
The verdict--
All new, save for the equilizer which got new bushings. Went with the regular springs but the 2000# variety instead of the 1750#. To add a leaf would have pushed the repair into next week. The factory used Galvanized 1/2" bolts in several places that should have been 9/16". I used a wire brush to clean up the already galvanized spring mounting points on the trailer and then sprayed with cold galv for a little insurance. It sure was easier to take apart than it was to put back together. The torch don't play. Got it all together but need to tighten everything and replace a grease seal on the STBD Front hub. I will spray it all down with Corrosion X HD, bolt on the wheels that just got 4 fresh 6-ply Radials ($300) and hope to have it all done before midnight, again... Then I can get the balance of the supplies ready for departure.
