I can understand that, typically trailers do get "dunked" underwater for unload and load purpose, I always rinse the rails, wheels lights, EVERYTHING out when I get back home to the hose, just as I would suspect you do with your boat, as well as your outboard, with fresh water via "muffs". I don't think I have ever launched or re-loaded a boat to a trailer without getting my feet wet, at least a bit! Ha Ha

I might suggest installing "bearing buddies" on the axel if you don't have them at this point.

If you want to barely dunk the trailer to load then I would suggest buying a quality winch. I can however be a bit rougher on the hull.
