Hello,
My original trailer (2 axles) has been standing outside for over 10 years now.
The wooden supports have rotted away.
Obviously, they need to be replaced. How did you do it? What kind of wood did you use?
Or: A one-time solution: Could aluminum profiles be used? Then I would have peace of mind forever...
Thanks and have a good day.

This may help with how to do it?

As to what to use, i imagine that you would duplicate what is there with a marine grade wood that you would first wrap with carpet?

Kurz,
Just did this for my trailer. Pressure treated two by (width you want) is what I used. Backed the boat into the water at the ramp and worked on it while it was on the dock. If you have a busy dock just anchor out and park your trailer while you work on it. Tony
