Cool

I really don't understand the problem with having brakes on a trailer. They're not that much trouble, and they are required in a lot of states, mine included. I mean, as long as you give them proper maintenance they last a hell of a long time. I think it's over 4 years on my present set, and they still work fine. Come home, jack up axle, remove spindle nut and slide off tire and drum. Pressure wash inside of brake drum and brake assembly, Blow dry with compressed air, quick shot of WD40, replace tire, do other side. Viola.. less than one hour for all 4 wheels. What's the problem? It's just like any other mechanical item... you have to do the maintenance. You wash the boat, so why not the trailer and the brakes?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
