It seem that they are more prone to problems than Kodiak brakes.<br /> http://www.kodiaktrailer.com/redswish/disc_brakes.htm <br /><br />I recently replaced my brakes with the same drums but galvanized/ss units instead of the Tie Downs due to several friends that constantly complain.<br />At least my drums always work with no issues.
i think that as long as the brake has alum parts mixed with stainless its going to have problems in saltwater <br /><br />pretty much the sameones as drum brakes sticking parts when the alum acts up<br /><br />tommays
what about Silver cadmium plating ,,,any good ...do stainless steel rotors warp or anything like that .......i see that tie down enj has vented stainless rotors
the tie downs seam to only have and alum caliper and brass bleeders with a stainless piston<br /><br />alum and brass are not a great combo and alum and stainlees have there problems also<br /><br />the kodiak has and all stainless one i am sure its more money BUT it would seam to be the only one thats useing materials that will live in saltwater<br /><br />i just stick with the drums and service them once a year and buy a new set about every 4th year for 100 dollars <br /><br />tommays
