This video has perfect timing. I'm getting ready to buy a used bass boat. The person who selling it has disconnected the brakes. He told me that the boat and trailer belong to his father who's no longer with us. He said that the brakes had frozen up and he took it to a shop that supposedly wanted $1,000 to fix the system. I've done trailer brakes in the past and I thought perhaps the price of the parts must have gone through the roof. I used the link in the description to go to the parts website that you suggested. I did a rough guess on what I would need in a worst case scenario. Worst case replacing everything it's still came out from under 500. And that's not even myself putting the discount code in. Thank you for this information it really helps. I was second guessing myself about buying this boat since I would need the brakes to work to pass inspection. Once again thank you and as always I make sure to hit the like button and I have already been a subscriber for a very long time. Look forward to watching your next video.
Excellent video. Those springs look like they are toast. I'm guessing these disk brakes are a lot better for salt water conditions than the standard drum electric brakes?
Vantage dual axle trailer that had drum brakes when I bought it used. They worked until one season they locked up, while the boat was in the water for the summer & trailer was sitting. I think only one axle had brake drums. I removed the drums and just put idler hubs on. Over the years I’ve gotten more familiar with swapping races/seals/bearings. Now it’s an annual check since I’ve lost a wheel in transit due, back roads, to never checking them. I learned the hard way. I’d like to put brakes on there again one day. Great video! #snapon
My EdgeWater use to have a trailer whit breakes but pass summer just give up less than a mile from home, sure since I see your videos I feel more than capable to repair that trailer that I still have in the yard.Love the videos keeping coming excelent job. #SnapOn
My new to me 5 star tandem trailer had surge brakes. However they needed work. The previous owner removed eveything. Now I'll have to start from scratch. Glad to see this video, it will be very helpful. #SNAPON
I'm trying to put together a set of tools to have on the boat at all times to make repairs on the water. Have you ever made a video on what you think the necessary tools every boater should have on their boat? Thanks!
I used BUICK DRUMS they fit right over the original hubs mounted the backing plates if I braked too hard they would lock up with 24 ft boat on it they really worked well with car brakes. If I did it again I would matchup disk brakes to fit right over original hubs and do the same thing.
Best video I've seen on the subject. Our little 18 footer doesn't have trailer brakes but I've always wanted the peace of mind added stopping power brings. Might see if the calliper brackets can be welded on somehow vs ditching the entire axle. In any case this vid gives me the confidence to tackle it. One note about blocking stuff. Don't use those hollow cement blocks. They can disintegrate instantly when overloaded, dropping whatever is on them to the ground with zero warning. That trailer in your video won't be much risk but boats and cars are another story. Steel jack stands or heavy wooden timbers only.
Don’t do it? They last less than a year. I just took them off our robalo r200. Even if you clean the trailer religiously after every use you will only get a year or so out of them before they lock up and you can’t use the trailer at all till fixed
I am in process of repairing UFP A-70 brake actuator. I think my master cylinder is bad. Would like to see you test the old and new master cylinder to verify proper operation of the master cylinder
Snap on. Those engineers at snap on are so current with new tools. Real nice third option. Can’t tell you how many steel lines I’ve ran and coupled in the old Days. My 2015 170 montauk does not have brakes. It’s way under the legal minimum weight. Also no more flushing drum trailer brakes of salt. Thanks. Rich
Most of the trailer brakes here are all mechanically actuated using sealed cables like huge bike brake cables. When one of the cables are due for a change you don't have to play around with hydraulic fluid bleeding. Most of them are also drum brakes. There are also bearing buddies for keeping the water out of the bearings for longer life expectancy. #SnapOn Thanks again top info
#Snapon, Recently bought a new (to me) boat and trailer. The brakes were shot. I'm planning on installing new ones this spring. Thanks for the video. It's given me the courage to try it myself. Thanks.
Many thanks for your video and discount code. You saved me a bunch of time and money and I am grateful for you and your channel. Thanks - Beeman John & Miss Honeypenny
Just bought a boat and the previous idiot took all the brakes and actuator off the boat trailer. Now I have to buy all new stuff because the boat is pretty heavy from my truck. I appreciate the video for my new adventure.
I don't have brakes on my trailer but I used a bearing grease repacking device when I replaced my bearings a couple of years ago. I think this is a must have device to ensure that the bearings are sufficiently coated with grease otherwise there may be a higher chance that the bearings may fail due to lack of grease
How is the brake fluid apportioned to give the right pressure compared to the travel in the actuator to operate the brakes efficiently yet not lock them up? I'm asking because I am contemplating making a trailer out of a chassis cab truck. I see there are various hitch types available with brake actuators in them but all seem to have a short travel compared to the foot pedal on a car which of course you control by feel. I just wonder if the travel required in the slave (wheel) cylinders of the truck will be too far to operate properly with such a short trtavel in a trailer hitch actuator. Your thoughts please. (or any one else out there) Many thanks Guy.
I just got my boat out of storage today and brought it home to get it ready for the season. I always check my brake fluid because I had a brake failure on my first boat. Even though we are on lock down because of the COVID-19 I feel we will be OK in the middle of the lake with some wine and food. #snap-on
No trailer brakes needed on my classic 1959 Glasspar. Fully loaded she only weighs about 650 lbs. I did however have to put a new axle and springs underneath it due to an unfortunate wheel bearing explosion, and a discovery of a very broken spring while attempting to replace the axle. #snapon
#snapon. Yup you guessed it brakes are shot on my dual axle trailer. The lines are rusted away and the axel is going have to be replaced. So the timing of your video is great. I didn’t know about the weight of boats and trailers needing brakes. Luckily the ramp is only a few minutes away and I have been pushing it. I do want to go south maybe the keys this summer with my grandson so I will have to get this job done. Any information on oil bath hubs would be great. I have already done the rear axel but they don’t have any brakes, just the front axel. Thanks again and keep it up. 👍👍
This video should come in handy if we ever decide to put new brakes on. Everything is so corroded I don’t even know what I would need to replace. We’ve left it the way it is because we trailer our boat twice a year and it’s a 10 minute drive so it’s not really worth it. And how much was it for all the parts for a trailer you bought?
#SnapOn my first trailer had breaks and they are great when your going to stop. You would never know your stopping with a boat on the back. My new trailer will be a triple axel. That’s going to be fun. Another great video !!
Currently I have trailer brakes that need to be replaced. Will definitely check out that site and look for a kit to replace everything. Thanks for another great video! #SnapOn
Danger- (first, your videos are top notch for entry level advice!) Using cinderblocks is the only big mistake I've seen. They have no internal structure, can split or simply be crushed without warning. Quite a few have died and lost limbs using cinderblocks. Jack stands are so cheap these days. . . by the way, your video inspired us to look at putting breaks on for our 26' CC's trailer.
My brakes are old drum type surge brakes that have been disconnected since I owned the trailer. It’s a dual axle sea lion. I’d probably be better off replacing the whole setup like you show here instead of trying to patch up what I have. Future credit card project! #snapon
Very good video with all the details , I have had many trailers and do my own service and repairs I’ve thought about putting electric brakes on a couple of trailers in the past but have not done it yet yes I’ve bought trailers with them equipped with the brakes and I’ve done my own safety checks and adjustments my brother in law is a Chef by trade not extremely mechanically advanced and he used to get Buddy Bearings installed on his trailers and pump Grease into them way to often when the trailers got warm the grease would expand and shoot his Buddy Bearings off the axles all the time they would hit the pavement spinning faster than the car tires and pass the tow vehicle on the highway ?
Yes my trailer has trailer brakes. I pull a Mcclain trailer built in TX with a 2102 Nauticstar, love the trailer with the saltwater package, SS fastners and led lights. Thanks for the great video! #Snapon
I have a 21-foot boat and a 16 foot car trailer that never ever had trailer brakes on them as it was purchased that way. Even my camper trailer never even came with trailer brakes nor ever had them installed and had no issues. When those trailers were purchase trailer brakes were not required by law.
A local marine shop wants $9000.00 dollars to put new brakes on my trailer and rewire some of the lights on my trailer for a 21' boat. Am I crazy to think that is absolutely outrageous? Then to just change the bearing they want over $1200.00. Located in Southern California.
I sadly don't even have a boat. I'm working on it through! Probably wont have breaks on it because I'm not looking to get a big boat, but this is very informative for the future! #SnapOn
great video for installing a new set of brakes , but would need some help with an existing continental trailer with disk brakes , kodiak 225 calipers and cannot compress the piston into the caliper . #SnapOn heading to Islamorada next week
Nice video as always! Very educational. That #snapon bleeder looks nice. Maybe when my mightyvac breaks I’ll have to check that one out on the tool truck
Congratulations @Gerard VanDijk you're this week's contest winner! Shoot us an email at aaron@bornagainboating.com with your shipping info and we'll get your #snapon charge pack to you! Congrats!
Great tutorial. Except you forgot to mention that there are 2 types of systems. Hydraulic and cable. I prefer a cable setup, they are much easier to install and adjust.
#SnapOn Thanks guys for another great video my boat trailer came with break but they was disconnected because super corroded I'm planing to replaced then so thank you for this. 🙋
Just replaced my axles with heavier 6k ones, previously had hydraulic surge brakes on one axle but did not reinstall because of constant problems sticking, looking to upgrade to electric over hydraulic when I get the funds! 😮 #SnapOn
I have a 25ft Continental trailer duel axle and it looked like the trailer never had brakes on the axles which is weird since the trailer itself is 1500lbs
How does the Kodak brakes hold up to salt water . Looking to completely do my trailer brake system for my 31 boat trailer and add brakes to an axle? # snap on. Thanks, great video
Well, depends on what kind you get. You don't want to get the cheap ones, get the ones that have that blue coating on there. I think there is even a better grade than these, but from what I can tell these hold up pretty well. I really don't have that much experience when it comes to time and longevity, but I would say to call up boattrailerparts.com and they will be able to help you out and give you a lot more info than I can :)
great vids! i have a definate kunk sound when i stop or start sound from the bract acuator. i took it apart and replaced the shock and it is happening again, any advice?
#SnapOn. Yes it does but need to fill it with oil as it’s not working properly. Will use method 1 when the boat is off from the trailer. Once again Awesome tips thanks
My car is rated for 1k lb with brakes but can tow 3000lbs with brakes according to the manual. You know how hard it is to find a 3k gvwr trailer that you can install brakes on it?

John B people have been packing bearings by hand for years. It works fine.

No brakes to mess with on my Boston whaler trailer. #SnapOn.
What’s the cost to do this installation ? Just one axle. Thanks Great video

Good video, Hi I have One question do you need brakes on both axles? My trailer only have set on front axle.
Do you have to install brakes on both axles or can you get away with brakes on just one axle?
Great tutorial. Except you forgot to mention that there are 2 types of systems. Hydraulic and cable. I prefer a cable setup, they are much easier to install and adjust.
Don’t have brakes on my trailer but because am rebuilding the boat and upgrading the brakes will be the last section or parts. #SNAP-ON
Great job on the info!!

I work on boat trailers quite often and the brakes are one of the most common things to be neglected when it comes to maintenance.

Well, depends on what kind you get. You don't want to get the cheap ones, get the ones that have that blue coating on there.

Is there a way that you can install brakes that brake when the tow vehicle brakes... like while going up and down boat ramps

Very nice video. Have been wanting to add breaks to my trailer to keep the work off my vehicle. Thanks for the great instructions!! #snapon
Great video as usual. Because of this video I’m going to put new brakes on my trailer.
#snapon
would this apply to switching from drum brakes over to disc??
Can you convert the axle with grease zerk into buddy bearing system?
Yes, just install the buddy bearings and pump in the grease :)
#SnapOn. Yes it does but need to fill it with oil as it’s not working properly. Will use method 1 when the boat is off from the trailer. Once again Awesome tips thanks
brake laws vary by state. some don't require brakes at any weight
You can leave the trailer on the jack. The trailer without a boat doesn't weigh much and you're not going to be under it anyway.
Another awesome video as always!!!#snapon
My car is rated for 1k lb with brakes but can tow 3000lbs with brakes according to the manual. You know how hard it is to find a 3k gvwr trailer that you can install brakes on it?
