First the steplift weights about 2000 lbs and with the motor it's still under 3000 but do you know how many boaters get rid of there trailer brakes, I bet at least half an them,its Illigal to do anything inn just, It's the law all I know is when your fishing and time to get your boat on the trailer it really sucks when they Are frozen ,do what's best for you and don't tell the cops cause everything in nj is Illigal

Question ? Is it a dual or single axle? Cause single axels don't have brakes at least mine doesn't

1. Stops a LOT better with brakes.......
2. It's the LAW in NJ....... 3. It's also an Insurance train wreck if an accident occurs. But ...keep trailering without brakes.....it's up to you. |

I have to put brakes on my "new" boat trailer. I am guessing it is close to 7000 pounds going down the road...I pulled my V-20 without brakes when I first got it but when I replaced its trailer I got brakes...I much prefer stopping with trailer brakes.
I don't care how careful I am, or how good a driver I am, when a car pulls out in front of me or traffic comes to an abrupt stop on the interstate and I have to stop fast, I want trailer brakes.

Does your state require boat trailer brakes ?
I wouldn't want to be faced with the liability of accident without in my state with brakes required. Could be like a train wreck......besides truck/ trailer wreck. Over 1/2 way done installing the big Kodiak disk brakes so should be able to compare the " before and after soon." |
