Helpful Expert Reply:
The 3,500 lb Dexter trailer axle part # 35545I-ST-89 is very commonly used on tandem axle trailers so it would be a great option. As far as saltwater use it will work for a decent amount of time before corroding, but that's to be expected since saltwater is pretty corrosive and there's no way around it. People use this axle in saltwater applications pretty frequently though.
