Expert Reply:
Hi Steve; wet bolts are a great idea for all trailers so I would recommend them for your boat trailer. Instead of piecing something together with the # 018-026-05 you were looking at I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit. This comes with wet bolts, bronze bushings, and 1/2" shackle straps. All of these components will hold up better compared to your standard parts in salt water.
You will need to measure your current shackles eye to eye to find the right kit. If your measurement is 2-1/4" you need # MR46ZR and for 3-1/8" you need the # MR76ZR. You should also use a marine grease like the # L54FR since it is designed to repel water.
