Expert Reply:

Usually every third mounting hole in the E-Track should have a screw securing it to the wood trailer deck; please see photo. For your 1190 pound load this should be sufficient. The one and three-quarter inch hex head wood screws you plan to use are a good choice.

It would be beneficial to mount some of the screws through the trailer's metal frame, if possible.
