If you want to change out those rusty U-bolts on your trailer with new stainless steel ones, check out Champion Trailers at http://www.championtrailers.com/
I got the same U-bolts that West Marine sells for 8.99, but I only paid $4.99 with the nuts, but no washers. Half inch washers were twenty three cents, each, locally. I do much price comparison, but I also got twenty stainless steel lug nuts. The price seemed reasonable from what I had seen.
The order came in two days, so I deemed them worthy to be in our OEM forum, considering the prices kicked butt for the U-bolts.
These U-bolts had larger stock The threads are not so drastically rolled as the ones from West Marine. I had two from West Marine and although the thread was 1/2" like the Champion units, the stock was only about 7/16" or less, the best I could tell. They do look a lot more puny, and the nuts are much shorter than the Champion nuts.
