He retired and sold the company to a couple of Canadian guys. I consequently sent a ton of business his way. But how about those fasteners? I have used Wesco trailers for years now, mostly because the owner was a really great guy who gave me the best service you could expect from any company. I have seen aluminum used, but not at all common. A winch stand another high stress example, and these parts are commonly not aluminum. For instance, the tongue of an aluminum trailer is generally galv steel instead of aluminum because it is a high stress area. In some areas you need the strength of steel in a smaller part. People I would consider honest hard working people in general.

I have had some good friends in the trailer business.

I have asked the same question, 'Why build an aluminum trailer and use all those galvanized parts?' I have dealt with thousands of trailers in my life, and different brands. I am not in the trailer building business, thankfully. To me, the use of galvanized components is normal and you will see that on every off-the-shelf aluminum trailer. If your Magic Tilt didn't have these pads, that is almost surely the cause of problems. As required, they use polymer pads and shims between dissimilar metals, which is a must to ward off galvanic corrosion. The main beams are aluminum, but almost everything else is galvanized steel or stainless steel. My current trailer is a Venture, very nice trailer. There are only 1-2 trailer component suppliers in the US that I know of and all their brackets and attachment parts are galvanized steel. Trailer components tend to be generic and used across different trailer brands. But I have owned several aluminum trailers from different brands and they all have galvanized pieces and brackets. I don't think you can buy an off-the-shelf aluminum trailer that doesn't have at least some galvanized components - many trailer parts are only made with galvanized steel, whether because of commodity or structural reasons I can't say. I left the brakes off because I only tow the boat 1 mile to a ramp. I ended up spending $1400 to bring the trailer up to good condition and this is not even fixing the brakes. I think it is just a poor decision by Magic Tilt. My point is why build an aluminum trailer and use galvanized components which will not last. Lug nuts were plain steel not Stainless.There were other issues like the brakes not working but this is pretty common for salt water trailers.

The bolts supporting the bunks were steel not aluminum and nearly disintegrated, the guide post were galvanized and one had fallen off last year from corrosion I have now replaced both with aluminum. The repair shop I went to was excellent and showed me the problems with this trailer. Since I only use the trailer to travel about 1 mile to the ramp I have not had my trailer serviced until this year. I use the trailer about 5 times per year and have always washed off trailer after using in salt water. I have a BR 230 with the custom Magic Tilt trailer.
