They do not have leaf springs that are specifically designed for boat trailers that are used in salt water. Since the leaf springs will flex there is no kind of plating or coating that will stay attached to the spring. Also, the process that is used to plate or coat a part can use high temperatures that could cause premature failure of the spring.
As long as you get the leaf springs with the correct weight rating and the correct measurements to fit your boat trailer you should have no... view full answer...

Typically, when the outside edges of a tire are showing wear its because the tires are under-inflated. The solution is to inflate the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall.
Now if the outside of tires have what looks like gouges are taken out of the rubber most likely it is broken suspension components or its a bent axle or spindle.
Unlike passenger vehicle tires, you always want to have trailer tires inflated to the maximum tire pressure for the best performance and wear.

The hardware included with the CE Smith guide-ons # CE27670 are pre-galvanized. Pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after it has already been galvanized. The edges of the pre-galvanized parts often lose their zinc coating during the stamping process. Because of the thinness of the coating, less than 1 mm, and the fact that the edges remain exposed, pre-galvanized parts can begin to oxidize and rust quickly, so its recommended that they be primed and painted.

I have a few options that may work for you, however, we are not aware of any stainless steel jacks on the market since the discontiuned SeaSense jack. Since you are using this jack with your boat, I recommend looking at the Fulton F2 Swing-Up, Wide-Track Trailer Jack # F1413040134. This jack features an aluminum alloy construction, and is made for marine, recreational and utility trailers. The inner and outer aluminum alloy tubes prevent rust even in the harshest environment.

We carry a pair of bunk-style guide-ons for boat trailers, the 24 inch # CE27660 and the 60 inch # CE27600. These guide-ons are made from pre-galvanized steel which can oxidize so they would need to be primed and painted in order to do well in salt water. These guide-ons are for trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall and you would need longer U-bolts # CE11416 if your frame was up to 5-1/4" tall. view full answer...

The Loadstar trailer tires are made in both China and Taiwan.
You will want to check the inside of the tire and if there is wear also on the inside it will be from low tire pressure. Always make sure to inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi rating listed on the tire for maximum load carrying capacity and longer life.
If the wear is just on the outside then the tire is riding at a slight angle with the bottom pointed more in toward the trailer than the top.
