[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 332513, member: 10344"] [i]I decided to go ahead and start getting the trailer rigged, I finally got the new fenders I ordered, I also scored some really nice LED light strips as well. I’m going to put them on the guide posts. There just so much more visible up on the guide posts than way down at the bottom of the trailer. Plus they never get submerged in the water. I don’t think this trailer has ever seen salt water, everything looks real good. The only down side is I’ve got to start swapping out the hardware and install stainless fasteners. I will be using her primarily in salt water. The spindles look brand new not a pit or scratch on them. New bearings, races and grease seals and we’re good to go there. I redid the trailer bunks and installed new carpet and E-Z slide trailer pads. Even though the hull has 2 thick coats of steel-flex on it I don’t want salt water wet carpet on the aluminum with no way to drain. This way the hull sits up on the pads. You just have to be careful at the ramp; she will slide right off so you don’t undo the strap until you are ready for her to come off. [/i] [-X [/QUOTE]
