I only put about 5-20 miles per year on my trailer (under 40mph on country like roads). I have the rinse kit and use it all the time but I plan to replace the drums this winter, they are rusting and sticking to the brake and the fixed part of the structure that the brake is attached (don't know what that is called) anyway I don't like the way they look and function. For now I got it freed up and have the trailer raised off the ground and spin the wheels once a week and spray it with a lube to keep it moving. I had to pound it with a sledge to get it moving and will probably replace the entire thing. I was thinking of just removing the breaks in the meantime (if it re-occurs) because I doubt they are working anyway and my truck has some good breaks and I only go down the street with it normally twice a year.
I can't believe they don't make a better drum assembly for boat trailers.
