If your boat trailer has a frame design that will directly accept the clip-in-place Redline # 464600 frame clips then this will be your easiest installation. We do also offer 1/2-inch metal loom clamp # A0500 from Redline that has plated steel construction and a rubber sleeve to prevent friction damage to the wire or tubing secured in it.
The enamel-finish clips # 464600 could still be spray-painted with an additional coating of paint for extra protection from corrosion, and this could also be done for the Redline clamps. To install the Redline clamps you will need to drill the trailer frame and supply stainless steel or galvanized hardware.
In this instance I recommend going for the same type of clip you have now, part # 464600, and applying the additional paint coating for durability.
