Corrosion Resistant Spare Trailer Tire Carrier

Question:

According to your wonderful instruction on determining the bolt pattern for my boat trailer wheels I have 5 on 4-1/2 wheels on my trailer. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast where everthing has to be either galvanized or stainless steel. I was looking at your CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier - Galvanized Steel - 4- and 5-Lug Wheels Item # CE27310G for my 18foot jon boat spare tire mount. While the main part of the mount looks galvanized the u-bolts and nuts do not. Do you have something that is completely galvanized or stainless? Or do you have another idea? I also looked at the simpler single u-bolt spare tire mount. Do you offer this in stainless? My trailer frame is 3x3.

The CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G is galvanized. The included hardware is zinc coated to resist corrosion. Unfortunately, we do not have any spare tire carriers that are completely stainless steel.

Another option is the Dutton-Lainson Carrier # DL22120. It has a zinc plated yellow chromate TUFFPLATE finish.
