post launch trailer rinsing system
these are some pics of a trailer rinsing system i installed on my trailer. most trailer experts say the most damage is done while you leave your tailer at the ramp for 8-10 hours with salt water drying on it.
 bladder tank which holds 5-6 gallons  pipe running down the frame  flex pipe running behind wheels with sprays attached  open the valve and spray after you launch  go fishing and don't worry about your trailer

Good idea.
I always wash mine off after launch in saltwater. Seems to have made a difference.

That's one of those damn good ideas...and looks like you set it up to accept a hose when you get home...how much pressure on the tank?...

50psi on the tank when empty w 50 psi on the water hose. you fill it at the house until it goes static. the t handle is a threaded plug where i add squirt of soap. also, when i get home and back it in the shed, i just hook up a hose and let it spray for about 10 minutes, then close both valves and it is loaded for the next trip.
i don't have brakes, but for you guys that do, you could plumb this into flush ports. the beauty of this is you get a pressurized water source to wash off your trailer with no pumps , wires, batteries, etc. and there is not anything to steal at the ramp.

Love the design of your self-contained rinse system. Not to mention the concrete filled PVC to keep the trailer from floating and the gussets on the bunk brackets. You sir are crafty.

So instead of soap, you could add salt away as well...
