I've always had trailer brakes on the car trailer, horse trailer and
boat trailers. Adjusted properly with the controller, they put little

brakes on boat trailers are a little "iffy" though.


Brakes on boat trailers are iffy no matter what. If you are dunking
them in salt water, they don't last very long.


Been a while but the last two boat trailers I had were equipped with
a fresh water flushing system for the brakes. One was factory equipped,
The other I had installed when putting new brakes on an older trailer.
Might not make them last forever, but probably helped prevent premature
corrosion.
