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?

Go to a real fastener place and you might save a few bucks but
stainless is the way to go on a salt water trailer. I started out a
couple bolts at a time as they got nasty but I bit that bullet too
after a few rounds of swapping out rusted bolts.

The leaf springs are also rusting badly, not sure what to do about
them.

That would depend on how bad they are. Surface rust is one thing.
Serious corrosion is a different matter. Surface rust can be
sandblasted and coated.
