Sea
water acts as the major catalyst for corrosion of boat trailer axles.
The trailer parts, wheel and hubs fill up with salt water as you
launch your boat off the shore. Although the hubs drain once you’ve
pulled your boat trailer out of the water, this doesn’t free your
trailer parts from corrosion, which is aggravated by exposure to air.
If
left unchecked, corrosion will weaken the structure of the trailer
parts, making the boat trailer less safe and less reliable to use.
Also, towing a boat trailer with breaks or in bad condition is
dangerous and illegal. This calls for a repair or replacement of the
parts, which can be very costly. To avoid spending for frequent
repairs in the future, opt for hot-dipped galvanized boat trailer
axles as a replacement.
This
type of boat trailer axle has a protective galvanized coating that
makes it resistant to the damages of corrosion. The technology
increases the axle’s value and prolongs its lifespan. In addition,
galvanized axles allow for design flexibility with its neat, natural
grey finish, which can be painted or powder coated easily. Most
importantly, its maintenance-free feature is highly beneficial to the
environment; it utilizes zinc, an element naturally found in the
environment.
