Expert Reply:
The galvanized steel shackle strap # CE14103G is best suited for marine applications like boat trailers, due to the rust inhibiting properties provided by the galvanized coating.
The plain steel shackle strap is better suited for non-marine usage. It could be used in a marine application, but it would be more susceptible to corrosion.
