Adjusted properly with the controller, they put little or no extra stopping capability requirement on the tow vehicle. Surge 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. |
