I have done some research and visited a few snowmobile trailer manufacturers, but what trailer do you have? What do you like and dislike? I am in the market for a 16ft inline. I have 2 skidoo freeride 137s. ProStarr? Triton? Ameralite M-series? Snopro? Mission? So many options, but which is the best? Looking for quality, reliability, easy to tow. Thanks!
What is the best inline snowmobile trailer?

Interesting, I didn't know they made that either.I was not aware Triton made a 7.5x16 snowmobile trailer but I see this dealer has a couple in stock. I was aware of the TC167 but this is a TC1674 apparently? Same trailer just six more inches interior width?

I ordered my NEO and it looked good but that was it. It came with a finished interior ceiling and that continuously buckled in the winter. Dealer was an idiot so I had to fix it myself. All the exterior lights were cracked from overtightening the mounting screws. One axel wasn't lined up with the other so it was scrubbing tires. The list continues. Wiring was terrible. After one winter most of the connections were corroded and I had to repair/replace almost every connection. Worst piece of junk I ever purchased.

NEO has come a long way since then.
Their quality control and service is very good now.

Picked up an Ameralite M Series over the weekend and debating what, if anything I should do to it to prep it for the season. The exposed wiring underneath has me a bit concerned and thinking of taking all the ski guides and trax grabbers off and painting the wood to make it look nicer. Also wondering since I have a few cans of Fluid Film if I should spray the underside of it for a bit of added salt protection?

I would spray the axle and anything steel with cosmoline: Amazon.com

Those exposed wires are concerning. I am just thinking about the slush and ice chunks hanging from it. Do they warranty the wiring or the chip board? It looks like they cut some corners building that trailer....

Wiring is going to be a problem as Paul_Aris mentioned. Solder and shrink wrap them.
I've had many trailers and never painted the deck and have never had any issues.
I would use the Cosmoline.
Congratulations on your new trailer.

You'll be fine. Do a test run with similar gauge wire on the bench before you lay under the trailer. Practice with the heat needed to get good solder contact without melting insulation. Most people use solder irons. I often use a small torch. It's faster but a lot more tricky.
Strain relief and good insulation coverage are big deals with trailer wiring. Lay out the connections and test movement before soldering.

I used the PB Blaster version of fluid film. Saw a guy test it on YouTube and thought it worked a little better. Which reminds me I need to get another coat on.
