Hi, I have a UK Honnor Marine trailer. It is only used once each spring and autumn for seasonal launch and recover. The road journey from my regular launch site is only about 10km, albeit with a 400 meter drop in height hairpin bends etc...
Last year I found the brakes had seized. Before that I only thoroughly hosed down the trailer after salt water immersion. But how do you hose down the brake internals without stripping the hubs?
I replaced the brake cables with new ones from HM (now in stainless steel aparently). I put the brakes back together and they worked sufficiently, but not correctly, one side is operating much more than the other. Should they not self adjust when in use.
Now I'm about to recover for the winter. I shall probably jack up the trailer (with boat loaded) and wash out the drums, but it's a difficult job if not really necessary.
Can anyone offer some good practice guidance to cover these issues.
Thanks
Chris
