Default Re: trailer brakes

I've had discs for years and believe they're the only way to go...BUT don't go Tie-Down...they got NO SERVICE...I hear lots of good about Kodiak...

This sounds like a PIA, but worth it...take a bucket of FRESH WATER and douse each brake unit at the ramp after you off the boat...that way your brakes aren't sittin' in the parkin' lot w/ salty water on 'em while you're out v-20in' around...end of day, hose 'em good and get salt off from when you got the boat back outta the water...

Even w/ a 250, no way I'd leave on a long trip w/ no brakes ;) get 'em workin'... ;) ;D...you'll be glad you did...

MAKE SURE coupler/ actuator is FOR disc-brakes...if your old brakes were drums IT WON'T WORK... get new actuator FOR DISCS...
