    As well as grease theres a product availiable here in NZ called Res-Q-Steel. For any nuts bolts etc going either near or in saltwater its 100% top of the pile in protecting the threads. Better than anything in the anti-seize family. Seen nuts n bolts underwater for 20 years just unscrew like new ones would. Bit $$$ to buy but oh so worth it. No good near heat like exhaust manifolds etc but near or in salt water theres nothing better. And a little goes a long long way. My brother when he was an apprentice marine engineer bought a 4 litre tub and it lasted him just on 25 years.

    Good job restoring that trailer Marty, saves a few dollars for sure. You need to make a small seat, for your tractor dog. 🐕Tie the boat off to the trailer mate, that way no wet gumboots. 🤣 The kids are growing up, when they can catch their own dinner mate. 🐟Teaching the little skipper early on.🛥 Great save on the little bird. 👍 Enjoyed this one mate. All the best to Jeanine, and the kids. Take care, stay safe.

    The freshly greased roller launch really brought back memories of my old supervisor! After he greased the rollers we had to launch our RHIB and in a similar fashion it unexpectedly flew off the trailer while backing down the boat ramp.
    Unfortunately the tide was really low and there was no water to cushion the transom.🤦‍♂

    Good one Marty T got a story for you. I was offered a 20ft boat trailer from steel recyclers for $50 the middle roller area was rusted out. I looked at it for ages and ended up cutting middle out completely, shortened the draw frame suitable for a 16fter. Went to buy a boat for it in Whakatane only to find another guy beat me to it. He had a tandem tipper so offered him my rebuild, we swapped and later sold it for two and a half grand.

    Far from your land full of rainy skies and gales…
    And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow,

    And I have loved this channel,
    More dearly than the spoken word can tell….
