Re: Trailer Maintenance
Let me say this about that. I have a 1977 Montauk on a Trailrite bunk trailer. Boat has never been in fresh water. In the process of tearing the trailer down for sandblasting, I had removed the leaf springs and was leaning on one like it was a cane, and it snapped in half! Kid you not. There was surface rust on them, but this was something I had not seen before. Rotten to the core. If you hit them with a hammer they would not ring, just a dull thud, soft. I have nightmares about the spring snapping on the freeway. New springs and u bolts for less then 150.00. I will change mine every 5 or 6 years. I get on some bad roads in Mexico, cheap insurance. Good Luck,Mark
