I have a 2006 EZ Loader duel axel , 4 braking surge braking system,
supports a 21 ft boat and trailer tow rating is 4500 lbs
Tow rating on actuator plate is 6500 lbs
Was living with a loud banging upon turns and could not place exactly were it was coming from.
Last time out did not check fluid and after a short distance realised I had no trailer brakes
Checked brake resivior and was bone dry.
Was a mile from home, went back home, put in fluid , still no brakes, figured I had too bleed
In an earlier post fellow boaters on this forum responded that the loud bang could be brake actuator.
On my present actuator I have the ability too hand pump actuator with a screw driver.
Filling brake fluid and pumping brake fluid noticed it was shooting all over trailer rails
Replaced hose, filled and still no brakes.
Here's were it gets interesting
PREVIOUS trailer
Purchased a new Titan model 60
THank god their was no accident but on my way too ocean and after a hour trip I was 1/2 mile too boat ramp.
Stopped at a stop sign infront of a marina, starting too go, my blazer was rocked by a BANG, , checked out,.???
HOLY COW, trailer broke in two, falling too floor, leaving brake actuator attached too ball while front of trailer was on ground.
Marina assisted me getting boat out of street, back too yard,
Made arrangements too leave at their stacking system until I locate another trailer
Junking trailer
I pulled off the new Titan brake actuator ( was a month old _)
Leaving in my garage few years
Having banging noise, no brakes, and an extra brake actuator decided too replace
Good News
NO more banging,
Still no brakes.
On this actuator no opening too pump
According too info on line my type is older model
Presently they make same model but they have the ability too hand pump actuator
Bleeding I have too make a loop with chains,
Using a 2/4 move trailer coupler assembly back and forth and bleed system
Front assembly does not seem too move
Remains in same position
Don't know what is normal for this assembly
Is it supposed too move back and forth, or up and down ? with pressure from a 2/4 ?
Thinking could there been damage caused by trailer breaking off locking assembly ?
4 wheel braking did I need the larger actuator that I took off?
Hopefully my description is not confusing
HAPPY BOATING
