Drum brakes and salt water are a bad combination... consider swapping them out for stainless disc.. they stop better and are a lot less trouble.. I fought with mine ( drum brakes) every year for 20 years.. it's been 3 years since I swapped them out and I've yet to have problem 1... easy to hose off at the end of the day.. as long as you grease the caliper pins each fall before you store the trailer they are pretty dependable.. I bought the "cheap" tie down engineering kit and have no regrets..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
