Expert Reply:
9/16 inch diameter shackle and leaf spring bolts are the standard size for trailer suspension so that would be what you'd need for your boat trailer. The part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ that you referenced is this size like you will need and also is galvanized like you wanted which will help prevent corrosion.
Another really great solution is the part # 126B2 which has a zerk fitting on the bolt head which allows you to easily grease the bolt and bushing to prevent corrosion as well.
