ALUMINUM TRAILERS IN SALTWATER???
I ahve a 16 year old, frequently used, aluminum trailer and it has been
through 4 sets of axels, but the frame is good. You can reduce the corrosion by adding some zinc plates. You can clean the trailer up with Aluma-Brite available at most marine stores. Capt. Frank Jeffrey Breuer wrote: Hey, all, Does anyone know whether it's OK to use aluminum boat trailers in sal****er? I know aluminum isn't very "noble" on the galvanic series, and that it corrodes if submerged in sal****er for a long time without zinc anodes, but what about with boat trailers that are "dunked" in sal****er repeatedly? Does the salt pit the aluminum? Will the salt eventually "rot out" the aluminum with enough dunkings? Are you supposed to rinse off the salt with a hose after coming home? Thanks for any advice. |
