I'm good with all of the other maintenance and upkeep, but have been getting conflicting info regarding taking care of my leaf springs.

Anything special y'all do as far as lubing or greasing?

Appreciate it!

I keep mine sprayed down with fluid film. Trailer is an '05 model with the original springs, so it has worked well so far

That said I'm due for a trailer overhaul

I bought a gallon of Corrosion-X, apply a good coating with a paintbrush every month or so.

Get rid of them and replace with torsion axles.

Paint them with hypoid 90 gear case oil. it penetrates, dries and has done a pretty good job since my father showed me in 1966

All the comments are good advice.

I didn’t not follow any advise on my first boat and just used salt away every time I got back. Was not enough, after replacing the springs 2 years ago before install I coated everything with red and tacky now after use about once a month a spray all my bolts and everything down with corrosion x i get it by the gallon. I used crc 656 for motor mist every second trip once it’s been rinsed and dried
