I recently did new springs and hardware on my trailer,well more like two years now. I used a coat of marine primer(zinc chromate) and a heavy coat of the cold galvanizing spray. So far no rust, and I like that spray to do touch ups on hardware, even on stainless steel.

The arms and hubs look pretty good...any way to just replace the axles?...I wonder if a good welding shop could do that?...Once the welder's done, paint
them like mentioned above...that stuff actually works pretty good...

reel, there are rubber bushings on the interior of the axles that any welding would melt. those hubs are about 6 years old. i will probably pull them off the axels and keep for back ups if we ever go tothe keys again.

reel, they are pressed in. from what i understand its a square tube inside another square tube with round pieces of rubber in the corners. hard to explain
spare, they are pretty rotten, pics don't show it well i picked up a can of the cold galvanized, axles supposed to be in tomorrow

 out with the old, in with the new this is my new "gutter' system. split a piece of 4' PVC and use it to channel water away from the axles once i pull it out of the water. 4" is barely wide enough, i will have to pick up a piece of 6". this prevents the salt water from continuing to drip on the axles after i use my flush system. probably does no good, but makes me feel better.
