Default Boat trailer BS

Got my fully tinned wire for my trailer and put it on so now I have
trailer lights again. However while doing it, I found that all of the
bolts and nuts on the trailer are so badly corroded they will not last
another season. I probably need about $100 of stainless hardware to
replace them. I thought EZ Loader was quality but it isn't. What
would a bit of stainless or hot dipped galv bolts have cost them?

If you have a galvanized trailer, just replace them with hot-dipped
galvanized fasteners. If the existing fasteners can be cleaned up with
a wire brush, buy some cold galvanizing spray paint - $8 at Home Depot -
an re-coat them.
