There should be a square mount that the backing plate is bolted to. A

If your axle has the square mount on it, then it is an easy addition. If 
it doesn't there are mounts that can be welded on.
I do not know about salt water, but would think it would be much the

I dealt with two folks on ebay that have been good for me, 
randpcarriages and droutdoorsupply. One of these folks should be able to 
fix you up.
