Looking for opinions on trailer brakes
Which do you guys prefer? Hydraulic or electric? Candidate is a tri axle steel trailer with brakes on 2 axles.

Electric over hydraulic is the way to go.
With something as light as a 32 Skater, even surge brakes work well and are less hassle. I'm not a fan of straight electric brakes for marine use. |

+1 I would never have a trailer without them again. With 3 axles, and the right setup, they stop my dually as well as the trailer.
|
I've only towed a couple of (horse & equipment) trailers with electric brakes; never a boat trailer. Some say they work fine for such.
Comparing similar 10-12K loads of Electric to EoH trailer brakes, EoH stops better in my experience. EoH is THE BEST money you will spend on your towing setup, hands down. |
EoH is the preferred way to go, but 9 out of ten cheap bassturds agree- hydraulic surge brakes will get the job done.

Eoh is the best option, but I've run electrics on boat trailers no problem. I don't understand some of the hype around why they "won't" work. Electric brakes are nothing more than a magnet that is energized by 12V. Much less to go wrong than any hydraulic setup, and they are dirt cheap, especially if you already have surge drums.

I'm with you on that. My Loadmaster trailer has electric brakes and they worked perfect while I owned that trailer. I purchased everything to convert to electric, but now I'm having second thoughts. Maybe I will spend the coin on EoH setup??????
