Trailer Brake Fluid

When checking the brake fluid level on my boat trailer the fluid appeared to me to be very dark and a little nasty looking. Consequently I decided to have the seasonal maintenance done a few weeks earlier than usual and included having the brakes system flushed and refilled with fluid as part of the job.

The point of this, finally, is that you may find it useful to have a look at the brake fluid in your trailer before your next maintenance interval.

Happily, as we fish year round in the Mobile area witerizing is not something I have done anymore.

I had the same thing happen after only about 3 years. I took the whole system apart. The wheel and master cylinders were full of crap. Cleaned things up and the brakes were fine afterward. I started putting a piece of electrical tape over the vent hole and kept a 5 gal bucket over the actuator when not in use. I think that helped.
