RR-40 Finds - Marine Biz

Item: Marine associated trailers and parts put on the marine trailers by the builders and the elements the marine trailers are exposed to that can cause running gear failure.
While visiting a marine dealer on the east coast I took some time to see what the marine trailers are made of and got some digi-pix.
First thing I noticed is the cheap lighting on these newly arrived trailers from the builders.
Fenders were also cheap plastic and no paint necessary on these and some other components. When you think about it there is no paint put on any of these and that step in production is eliminated entirely.
After a while the sea salt environment along the coast wreaks havoc and what comes in for repair is virtually not worth the cost of a new replacement trailer. They don't last long.
It's almost criminal - call the law!
