I think the only brakes that will withstand water properly are Discs and they ain't allowed
If they aren't allowed how come some trailer makers are now using them????

Back off hols and.................no probs AT ALL with the the hubs......perhaps a good and I mean good going over with copper slip grease may be the answer, EP 90 oil in the cables and more copperslip worked in either end. My firend Bill S will move the boat in a few days, so no doubt he will report the condtion back to me.........then the boat does not move until July.....then we will see !!!! Hope this may help someone !

Several years on...I got rather annoyed and took all the brakes off....a lot better as they were not needed now on my 3rd set of bearings, I have made and installed fresh water flushing for the drums.....so far so good....3 years peace and quiet.
