Disc brakes are characterized by power. They have a greater pressure that works well in water. The friction created by the internal mechanisms makes the boat trailer stop faster and has greater resistance to the water. The problem with this is that they may not be suitable for salt water. Because they are made of metal, they are prone to corrosion if not washed right away with tap or freshwater. Pacific Trailers avoids this issue by using aluminum calipers, stainless steel pistons and dacromet backing plates on the brake pads. These are recommended for the boater wanting more control of the trailer’s stopping ability. Additionally, these work best for those towing through various terrain. Your brakes are only used when you depress your truck brake pedal. more

Now that you know the types of brakes, it’s important to ask yourself some questions to make sure you get exactly what you need. How long are you going to use your boat trailer in the water? Are you going to use it in freshwater or sea water? How big is your boat? How much work are you willing to do to maintain your boat trailer? How much is your budget for maintenance or service? more

We would like to help you get started by weighing in on the pros and cons of each boat trailer brake types out there.

Electric-over-hydraulic brakes are quite new in the market. Of course, many enthusiasts still prefer surge brakes, but it will not hurt to give these a shot. The way these brakes work is using an electric pump to transmit pressurized fluid to drum or disc brakes. Their controllers are easier to understand and install. They are also easily adjustable. These are said to work best for higher end boat trailers. Otherwise, their braking power may not be as smooth as expected. They are fantastic for long distance travel or steep hills or grades.

Boating enthusiasts would say that hydraulic surge brakes are the simplest to use for boat trailers. The actuating cylinder attached to the fluid coupler in these hydraulic surge brakes has a softer impact which allows for a smoother deceleration and better control. These are our most popular braking solution. [links]

Only one percent water in the fluid can lower the boiling point of a typical DOT 3 fluid to 369 degrees. Two percent water can push the boiling point down to around 320 degrees, and three percent will take it all the way down to 293 degrees, which is getting dangerously close to the minimum DOT and OEM requirements.

Water can actually cause air to accumulate in your brake lines. Brake fluid is hygroscopic. It absorbs and retains water. The problem arises when the fluid has absorbed as much water as it possibly can and becomes saturated. Brake fluid is designed to have an extremely high boiling point; however, if you subject your tow vehicle and trailer to excessive braking, such as a trip through the mountains, you can easily cause the brake fluid to heat up to this temperature or beyond. When the brake fluid boils, especially when there is excessive water in the system, steam is a by-product. The braking system ultimately compresses this steam and turns it into water. The air separates from the water creating large pockets of air in your brake lines. more

As the concentration of moisture increases, it causes a sharp drop in the fluid’s boiling temperature. Brand new DOT 3 brake fluid must have a dry (no moisture) boiling point of at least 401 degrees F, and a wet (moisture-saturated) boiling point of no less than 284 degrees. Most new DOT 3 fluids exceed these requirements and have a dry boiling point that ranges from 460 degrees up to over 500 degrees. here

After only a year of service, the brake fluid in the average marine trailer may contain as much as two percent water. After 18 months, the level of contamination can be as high as three percent. And after several years of service, it is not unusual to find brake fluid that contains as much as seven to eight percent water. here

Water Contamination increases the danger of brake failure because vapor pockets can form if the fluid gets too hot. Vapor displaces fluid and is compressible, so when the brakes are applied the actuator may completely compress without applying the brakes! [links]
