| Anyone have any suggestions for keeping rust of the boat trailer. I had a boat that was only 2yrs old and the trailer was all rusty already. I couldnt believe it, mainly big bar between the wheels. You would think after 2 yrs the trailer wouldnt be full of rust already. Anyone have suggestions? Any type of rust proofing that can be done for trailers? Thanks |

I would think that if you cleaned up the surface rust on the axle and between areas, then cover them with truck bed coating, you might be able to curtail it.

| Had the same problem!!!! 2 years too.
I grinded the rust off, primed it and painted with tremclad - worked fine.
I just stay on top of it every spring and hit the few rust spots right away and all is good.
They use a ton of road salt here in Ontario!!!!
I have some bedliner-like stuff I am going to try on the undersides and front facing supports that are out of view that may help - dunno?
