Trailer Brakes Do I need it ?

[jasoncooperpcola]

My 250 Sportsman's trailer does not have brakes. On a good day it does not cause an issue. But i am towing with a diesel 3500 srw. The only time i ever had trouble was on a rainy night a light changed on me and i hit the brakes right on top of a manhole cover after a few seconds of hopping it slowed right down. Thats the only problem i have had in the 4 years i have owned the boat.
