Good Morning!
I recently purchased a used trailer for my inflatable. The trailer is in good shape but needed to be freshened up with a light coat of paint.
The frame is 2x3 tubing. The ends of the frame are welded shut. I will be using this trailer to haul and launch a 12.5' inflatable mostly in fresh water lakes. I will probably be launching in salt water one week a year.
My question is. Should I provide good drainage at the back of the frame (transom side of trailer) And be diligent with flushing out the frame after salt water exposure or should I weld the tubes closed and hope water doesn't have a way of getting in anywhere else.
Thanks in advance!
