bonita dan (12/18/2007)Unfortunately,water won't work real well unless you bring a spray bottle down to the ramp with ya. Once you launch the boat and the trailer sits in the lot,the process of rust has already begun. I have a new set of springs for my trailer to install as well but before they go in there goin too Panhandle powdercoating off Nine Mile rd. Mat not be entirely foolproof but will last much longer than paint,undercoating and definately cheaper than the 100 cans of wd-40 you'll burn thru trying too stop the rust. Just anotheridea too keep in mind.

Panhandle does good work. Talk to them about what you plan to do, I'm sure they will shoot strait with you. I think that the powder coating may crack, fatigue and fail on the springs. It's a great process but leaf springs might not be the best application.
I'm a firm believer in washing thoroughly after each use and periodic maintenance/wire brushing/primer, but I agree the with most, you will only delay the process of rust on certain parts of a boat trailer.
