Last week while trailering my boat, one of my trailer hubs starts smoking really bad. I pull over and it still smokes. It seemed to me that the brake was stuck in the "on" position.<br /><br />Where can I get my brakes serviced? Do I have to go to a boat shop or can I just go to an auto brake shop?<br /><br />TIA

Look in the yellow pages under trailers. A brake specialist is the place to go.

found my problem. i took my hubs off and noticed that one of the bearings was WASTED!<br />while i'm going to replace the bearings on both hubs, i might as well replace the brakes. <br />i have disk brakes. will i need to get "special" ones too or can i use the auto ones?

Hello<br /> if you have disc brakes make sure the grease you use is the high tempreture made for disc applications. most of the disc brake set ups I run accross are simple to service. Good luck and keep it cool :) :)
