I got some heavy rubber cushions about the same diameter as theses tubes that I was thinkin' about puttin' on mine...gotta holler out the hole thru 'em some...gotta keep up w/the Yammers...

$80 a pair, huh???...might be time to go into production...:head:
 
Came up with an idea for boat ramps that have a hose a couple of years ago.
Put one of those fixed sprinkler heads with a pretty good wide pattern on the ground under the boat and trailer, with hose attached of course.
Have a thirty some foot length of para cord, attached to the other side of the sprinkler and a weight on the other end of the para cord. Toss the length of the trailer on the ground and just ull it along underneath pausing as long as you want to flush the the whole underside of the trailer and boat.
Have a handle on the sprinkler and an adjustable spray pattern and use it for the rest of the boat.
 
Always wondered if it would be beneficial to put zincs on a trailer the way you do on the outboard? also heard of hooking a zinc to the negetive terminal of your batery to protect the electrical connections from corrosion.

Orlando I'm not pro on this at all but I would think zincs would be useless on a trailer due to it only being submersed for a few minutes then its introduced back to an air enviroment. Drying it out ultimately. I think zincs have to be submersed to work. Don't hold me to that its simply a assumption.
 
kraker is right, the zincs are there to prevent electrolysis, the trailer would have to be submersed for electrolysis to occur, even if it were to occur, the galvanizing is made of zinc, so it probably wouldn't help

Well hell...Ya might be on to somethin' there...according to our resident corrosion expert, you could have such a device at home, cuz salt on galvanized take s as much as 36 hours to become corrosive...and on unprotected steel like leaf springs as much as 24 hrs...
