Anybody know any good outlets for replacement stainless hardware for the trailer?

I replaced most of mine with nice stuff I found on e-bay several months ago. Don't see any right now, but keep checking or put in a saved search, like "Stainless U bolts", etc.

Other than getting a bit unsightly, the galvanized stuff usually lasts a long time, then just cut it off with an angle grinder and replace. Don't even attempt to loosen it. The places to concentrate the SS, are things that need either regular adjustments (like bunk angles) or are in difficult places to cut off (like backer plates).

Heck we operate in a corrosive environment. Gotta live with it, or pay up big time. Champion trailer has some stuff.

Try your local boat dealer. Mine has u bolts and brackets and other stuff at surprisingly good prices.

I don't know where you are located, but in the Tampa, Florida area there is a company called Tri-City Bolt and Screw (http://www.tricitybolt.com/index.php...mp=3&View=home)

You can get SS hardware from them for half the price of home depot and lowes.

They will ship as well. It's actually not too bad if you do it UPS ground or freight.

I bought square U-bolts off of Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/SQUARE-U-BOLT-30...d=p4634.c0.m14

Thanks all for the replies, I'll keep looking around, I don't need to change anything but will when the time and the price is right. Just happen to have the boat off the trailer right now so it would be easy to do.
