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.


My UFP aluminum calipers have done well over the years. Only problem I had
was wiped out a caliper and rotor, when the pads separated. Left just the
steel backing of the pad grinding on the rotor and the caliper piston came
out far enough to leak all the fluid. Could have rebuilt the caliper, but
cost and availability of parts had me buy a new one. The disks do much
better than the old style brakes.
