What have people filled there boat trailers with?

 Just wondering what people fill there trailer chassis with? I'm building an Offroad boat trailer & tried googling fish oil etc nothing but vitamins show up haha 

many other suggestions out there? Someone said to use old engine oil but I would hate for it to leak into the water!

cheers

What ever is left you can mix up in your burley bucket. Haha.
Seriously, it is good stuff. Have been using this product for years to spray in car doors & underside of mudguards.
As said above, why not build it out of "C" section & eliminate the problem altogether......

C section or ( Parallel flange, official name ) will reduce the cavities that trap dirt and moisture.
Then galv dip, or quality paint. I use Lanox on all my trailers and buy it in a 5lt bottle to save some coin.

agree iv used fisholine for years on anything metal that goes near the ocean ..galv or not and it has worked wonders on 4bys , trailers etc

before we went up north on our trips away id spray inside & out/underneath the cruiser with it , then leave her stand while I was away .... never had any major issues with rust like that

she smelt a bit fishy but it soon dissipated
