torsion axles problem

Phatdaddy those gutters certainly can't hurt anything and are cheap insurance. Those new axles sure are pretty. Good job putting a gasket between the mounting bolts and trailer frame.

thanks b, i launched it last weekend and walked back to see how the gutters were doing. they worked great. water was dripping out of the carpet, but none on the axles.

when i pulled the old axles, there was some pitting on the frame. i wire brushed it, painted with zinc chromate & petite trailer coat, then sprayed with the cold galvanizing can stuff. i asked the guy at the trailer shop what they put between the brackets & frame. he said a piece of duct tape. are you kidding, thats it. i had some old starboard so i thought why not. i'll keep an eye on it to see if it cracks

I used gasket material between the dis-similiar metals on mine.
