I have a venture trailer for my sailboat and was wondering if it is worth to spend the little bit more to put a galvanized hubs on it?

Expert Reply:
The GAL-DEX coated version of the hub you referenced is part # 8-258-50UC1. There is a very small price differential between the painted and the GAL-DEX version. The GAL-DEX coating can withstand a continuous 500 hour exposure to salt spray before corrosion sets in. In my opinion, the extra corrosion protection is well worth the small increase in price.
