What are you doing or not doing to it?
A good quality hot dip trailer should last a good long time
I’ve replaced the rear axle and the rear cross member on mine in 15 years of ownership.
Going with aluminum in the next couple of years if I decide to keep it
Dissimilar metals corrosion is the by-product of difference in the electrical potential between two surfaces. Something as simple as a loose or missing grounding wire can set the process in motion.
Simple test...set voltmeter to ohms... measure resistance between the ground bolt on the motor...
If you don’t need hydraulics for autopilot I would save a ton of money, and problems going forward, and just replace the cable.
A friend has a second station on a 23’, 9-6” beam on a bracketed outboard powered boat. Hardly ever uses it and it takes up valuable cockpit space while fishing...

The constant alarm is a know failure mode of the horn
Two or...
Well that tell us there is control circuit in there.
Violet is power and tan is control. Grounding tan should cause an alarm but not sure how you test the logic.
Hard to go wrong with Michelin.
Replaced the OE Wranglers on the pickup at 30k miles with Michelin Defender LTX M/S.
Just put a set of 10 ply, E-rated, Carlisle Radial Trail HD of the same size on the horse trailer. We’ll see how they hold up
