Trailer Issue

[dlane]

I need some help. My leaf springs are shot, this is the second set I've put on. Is there any advice on maintaining these? Im just washing with the water hose after fishing and I feel this is not enough but just dont know what else to do. I've heard of galvanized leaf springs, however they look expensive and only avalible online. What do you guys do after trips?

Before I put them even on I spray with Corosion-X. I replace my springs every 3 years but that's also because I put hundreds of miles on my trailer each year.

I tried a couple of different salt terminators and stuff nothing seemed to work so I switched to an axle with torsion bars and no problems since , if it's in your budget lose the springs

If you keep the trailer anywhere near the salt water .... you will always have these issues ...

HD Corrison X - has helped me .... some .... but I still rinse it ever time it touches the water

Heavy duty corosion x in green can works pretty well,but sooner or later they will give out,torsion may be the way to go!!

You can't galvanize leaf springs. They are tempered.

That is correct! all you can do is spray galvinizing paint on it, but it's not pregnated into the metal.

I read in Saltwater Sportsman Mag, under reader tips, to take STP Oil Treatment and mix it 50/50 with gear lube and use a whitewash brush and brush on springs-if you do this twice a year or more it is spota keep em good for longer than 3 years. Personally, my experience is they last 3-5 years and crumble into pieces, but I have not tried the oil mix treatment.
