Hi guys,
I have trailer currently that has hydraulic drum brakes on it, from what I can tell the master is empty, and could potentially have rust in the lines. I do not trailer my boat very far, and have had no problems stopping/towing the boat, especially with my new full size truck. I am thinking of just converting the tongue to a fixed tongue without the master because I am sick of it slamming back and forth while towing. Could I simply remove the braking tongue, cap the line, and install something like i have linked below? I do not feel its worth dumping a bunch of money into a new master/tongue plus new brake assemblies for the 3 miles I trailer the boat. I could justify putting that money into the boat/repairs much easier. I would assume this would simply just bolt in place of the old tongue? Currently I think the trailer has a Dico/Titan hydraulic setup on it now.
