I replaced the bunks this weekend on a small trailer that I carry a 12' jon on. I used treated lumber covered with carpet, and after looking around on here I have some worries about the copper content in the wood causing some problems with the boat hull. I still have enough carpet to do the job again, but am wondering if I should use untreated wood that has been varnished, or if there is some sort of barrier I can put between treated wood and the carpet to protect the boat's metal?
Also, does treated wood have to be in contact with aluminum to cause corrosion? I added a wooden cross brace to the trailer to support the bunks. It's also treated wood, but has no contact with the hull.
Much thanks!
