Jim,
I changed my drum brakes to stainless steel disc (Champion) in 2005. I haven't moved the trailer since last fall :-( but I had not had a problem up until then and they look very good. I rinse them with a simple green solution after each launch and haul. The exposure of the system vs. drum makes the rinse very effective.
My notes from my boat maintenance log are below. The do it yourself price is without the master cylinder is was $450 and the job was not that bad. Give me a call if you have any other Q's. That may not solve your entire issue but I hope it helps
