I spent all weekend replacing my hydraulic surge brakes with electrics. I took great care to waterproof all connections. Time will tell how they hold up to weekly dunkings (freshwater).
Old brake assembly
four bolts..and its off ! (after obviously removing tire, wheel bearings & drum )
new electric brake assembly bolted up and ready to be wired
this took longer than expected but all in all wasn't that bad. Here I am finally getting ready to take a test drive down to the high school parking lot to test brakes. They work great ! As I said we will see how they do getting the weekly dip in the lake. They are Dexters and the vendor told me lots of people use them on boat trailers. As you can see I have a lot of buffing and waxing ahead of me. It was 70 today and I am anxious to get out on the water.
