I recently bought an 18ft VIP bay boat. I have a basic galvanized trailer all though after inspecting the leaf springs, I noticed that they are severely rusted. I can do the job myself but when it comes to buying new leaf springs, the most common I've seen are 25 1/4" inch from eye to eye with a 1750lbs capacity per spring for a total 3500lbs capacity. Are boat trailer leaf springs pretty universal in size? Also what is the standard size bolts that are used for installing the leaf spring? Mine are so rusted that I was able to peal off chunks of rust from them. Everything has to be replace, I'm scared to trailer the boat with the image of the springs coming apart and causing an accident on the road. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
