Ordering new Myco tomorrow, I boat in salt water and ramp every time. They come with Aluminum coated calipers and rotors. Spend the extra $2600.00 on all Stainless steel?

Thoughts?

I'll take "NO" for $1000, Alex. Do the math on how many galvanized sets you can buy with that money. The O rings and seals in those stainless calipers last the same amount of time.

That's what MYCO said.

2600 extra seems excessive to me.

I bought regular disc brakes for my trailer. Lasted 4 years in mostly salt water with using salt away EVERY time it went in the water(both boat off AND on).
3 years ago i bought the stainless rotors and calipers for replacements. They still look like new today. I figured if I could double the 4 years to 8, it was worth it.

FWIW the trailer company told me I would be lucky to get 2 years out of the regular disc brakes when I bought them.

Me personally, I say yes

I wont order a Myco without SS anymore. It's just better, especially in salt water. At the end of the day, you are going with Myco because you want the best. No reason to not build it right.

I used the coated ones from Kodiak when I replaced my hardware......

I used those as well. My trailer for my Cig 20 had aluminum Tiedown engineering crap on it and they were shot after 7 seasons in fresh water being dunked a couple of times a year (The boat lived on a covered lift). Like I said before... Stainless or not, those O-Rings are all the same!!

the main thing to remember is use a barrier between the rotor and the hub, or the rotor will seize to the hub. there is a special grease similar to dielectric, comes in a stick. put a good coating where the rotor seats to the hub. just like you would slather brake pads.

I’m redoing the trailer for my 25 Convincor now.

Had plain steel Tie Down discs w/aluminum calipers on front axle only.
Came from the salt of LI so they were toast.

Rotors were salvageable so are being cut.
Got new alum calipers and pads for that axle.
Orig calipers had massive corrosion around the piston.
If you lifted their seals, dust came out!

Im on a very tight budget due to my deck/pool project eating all the boat funds.

I will be fresh water 99% of time so gambling steel discs will be alright if I rinse after salt outings.
Looks to of had zero maint in salt in its prior life so I’m optimistic.
I was shocked they even came apart.

I added stainless discs w/alum calipers to the rear axle to have brakes on all 4 wheels.

I like the quality of the Tie Downs from what I see so far.

Fingers crossed.....
