Hello,
Been working on the boat (1996 fish and ski Glastron with 4.3 Mercruiser) and now that it seems to be sorted I'm looking at my trailer. It's a single axle with surge brakes. I'll admit I'm on the fense, should I change over to disc brakes or stay with surge. I went to bleed the system and found a very rusty master cylinder that just flat needs to be replaced. It's a 20 year old trailer that wasn't used much. So the whole system prolly needs to be rebuilt, new coupler, brake lines, drum cylinders and shoes. The boat weights about 2300 loaded plus trailer. What have you guys used and been satisfied with I'm willing to spend to get a long lasting reliable product. Suggestions, Please.
Thanks,
Jcris
