Hi Clarence; leaf springs like the # EM48AJ you referenced and the # e39SR you ordered have a powder coat finish. This will resist the basic elements and help prevent corrosion. We also have leaf springs like the etrailer Rust-Resistant 6-Leaf Slipper Spring # e46FV which come with a Dacromet finish with a salt spray rating of 700 hours ideal for applications like your boat trailer.

Hey Clarence, how did the 6-leaf slipper spring you ordered work out for your boat trailer? I'm curious if the powder coat finish met your needs or if you decided to go with the rust-resistant option. Your experience could really help others in a similar situation!
