Always be careful if you know you’ll be in saltwater. Especially if you back your trailer right into the water. Parts of the wheels could corrode very fast. A galvanized steel frame is better at handling this. You can’t paint it like a normal trailer, mind you. But it can handle hauling your watercraft to the ocean better. [links]
Malone makes some smaller trailers, in particular ones suitable for canoes and kayaks. It’s actually pretty rare to find ones this small that are durable and well made. For the size, they can handle quite a bit of abuse. more
After a day of fishing, make sure those lug nuts look tight. When you return to the ramp, count your lug nuts and give the tire a push with your foot, watching for a loose tire. Check your trailer ball and hitch for looseness, as well as making sure the safety chains are crossed and attached.

Keep in mind that many trailer boat rigs weigh tons. If the trailer sags far over, it may take a scissor jack to get underneath.

As a hot tip, when parking, make sure your tow vehicle and trailer don't cross the line, giving local law enforcement a chance to tow your vehicle. There are horror stories coming out of Texas these days, of tow vehicles and their trailers removed from Galveston Bay ramps and also North Padre Island. Average cost to reclaim each rig is reportedly $2,500. Even in this era of local communities bending rules to the breaking point to raise cash, having a fisherman pay thousands for a towed vehicle is a serious shakedown. Out-of-state vehicles may be especially targeted. Some tournament anglers today would rather pay the occasional fine for a "lost license plate" than have their vehicle targeted for towing -- or vandalized, for that matter. here
If you constantly fish saltwater, corrosion is a constant enemy of your trailer. Spraying down with a hose after every trip is absolutely necessary. I prefer a solid dunking, however. Returning from the coast, I've found a handy lake ramp offering sweet water. I bury my salty trailer in the lake for at least five minutes, while also running the motor. [links]
The link below shows pretty much what I have on my trailer. The spare sits at an angle under the bow of the boat and makes a nice step to get into the boat. more
