Question:
Is this good for salt water? Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased
asked by: Richard
Expert Reply:
Since the # AKIHUB-655-6-K is just painted steel it would not be my first choice for a saltwater application as it would pretty quickly start to corrode. The absolute best option would stainless steel like the Kodiak part # KH42655S as stainless steel won't corrode.
Next best option would be the galvanized part # 8-213-51UC1 which won't be as resistant to corrosion as stainless but would do a much better job than just paint as it's a zinc coated steel which does a pretty decent job with saltwater.
