Paint for Axle and Springs?

I'm putting new rollers/winch etc on my old galvanized trailer. I use the boat almost exclusively in salt water and as a result the painted axle and springs are covered in rust. I'm looking for some sort of product similar to POR15 that would help inhibit the rust and keep it at bay for a little while longer. I was thinking of tremclad but it's really just cosmetic and will flake of as soon as the rust starts back.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Being from a mostly automotive background, I've come to prefer Corroless paint/coatings on steel. It's a coating that is used on bridges and oil rigs in salt water, so it's pretty tough stuff. I've used it on a few all steel trailers and have had good results.
