Scarab Trailer Paint

[Hillt]

Here are some pictures of underneath my trailer. It seems that the paint job is sub par at best and was wodering if others have this kind of lack of spray coverage underneath yor trailers?

Who manufactures the trailer? I assume it has a name plate somewhere near the tongue.

Scarab Trailers are the same ones used by Four Winns and Glastron. They are made in house from what I gather, but I could be wrong.

That is unacceptable ! That trailer won't last 5 years at that rate of deterioration, if it's not under warranty I would sand and paint it myself. I have to take a look underneath mine.

I looked at mine a while ago...it looked good...here's what I do because I dip mine in salt water.
Get one of those garden spray pumps from HomeDepot...the single pump hand helds...I fill mine with salt away solution...you can purchase on amazon. After every dip I spray that F-er down.
Also I hit all the holes with anti-corrosion spray...just the cheap stuff at boat store as I go through it alot. I put that on everything every month...seeing as I have only used my boat two out of the 4 months I've owned it I've done this twice. ; (

I read somewhere on here the 2014 had bad trailer paint jobs and to check under trailer before you purchase. My 2015 is in good shape. It looks like they didn't even paint it under there.

I'm beginning to see a trend building here with everything with the Scarab name plate on it.

I am already replacing mine 1 year and months later. My new trailer is being delivered tomorrow.. @ScarabMike wants my wheels off the old trailer. I will transfer the boat to the new one and it will get hauled to the scrapyard. I will take pictures tomorrow. Fender bumpers all ready falling off. I am not going to take the chance.. Bottom line: I told the dealer I would be using the boat in brackish water and they didn't give me any indication there would be a problem. I called them back this spring and told them I was having problem with the trailer and asked why they didn't sell me the gatorhyde trailer. I was told that the trailer I got was the only one they stocked. I washed my boat and trailer after every use.

I took my boat into my dealer for a few minor warranty issues before it runs out and showed them the trailer paint issues and some other things with it, To my surprise they are replacing my trailer and I didn't even have to ask.

Glad to hear that...I don't want to post or see any more negative comments. As for me all I want to see is the manufacture own thier mistakes and take care of us. I'm happy for you!
Now before you dip that new trailer go out and buy that anti corrosive paint and hit some of those spots.

You guys who have problems, do you have the gatorhyde or something else?

 

[Slugger55]

Painted. I thought I was buying a trailer to use in brackish water. If it isn't Gatorhyde don't put it in salt or brackish water..

Had to buy an aluminum trailer to replace the original... The new trailer is in my avatar picture.
