Default Trailer Braking Problem

Hey Guys,
Happy 4th of July to all of you.

I'm having some trouble with my trailer. I have a ShoreLander trailer
for my 18 ft boat. The brakes are not activated electronically. When I
stop, something slides forward on the trailer and activates the brakes.
The problem is the brakes slam on each time I try to stop.

Took it to MarineMax and they took $450 dollars. Oh, and they replaced
the master cylinder and the "shock absorber". Wheel cylinders are good,
no leaks, etc. They said they bled the lines. Why would this problem
still persist?

Thanks

You have *'serge brakes'*.

D'oh! better make that *surge brakes*



It still doesn't explain his problem of the brakes slamming on.
