I just bought a 32 ft Baja with Myco trailer this year, the surge brakes do not work, got the whole system cleaned and ready to bleed, No fluid? so I disconnected the line at the tounge and I can move the tounge in and out by hand and get no fluid at all, is that like a master cylinder at the tounge? How do you fix them?

You should have a fluid reservoir at the tongue of the trailer. I lost brakes on my Eagle trailer twice when the long line running inside the frame from the tongue to the axles wore through from vibration and lost all the fluid.

Yes it a master cylinder and a small shock absorber to keep it moving smoothly. Sounds like a total replacement might be the way to go, they are not that much $$.

It was empty when I got it, I filled it and I was trying to bleed it, thats when I realized it was not working.

Surge brakes, even when operating, aren't worth a $hit. If you have truck braking problems (like overheating) there's nothing to cause a surge and engage your trailer brakes.

That is true, but they would be better then the none I have now! I towed it 2 times just to use the boat a little I was fine with a F250 but I want brakes foe next year, not real safe without them.

I upgraded from drums to Kodiak discs on my trailer. Every part of the surge brake system needed replacement anyway.( MC, lines, dampners, etc). My boat and trailer is probably 8k lbs going down the road. I am extremely happy with the performance of the braking system, especially last night when a deer ran out in front of me, and it lived to run out in front of cars another day.

disconnect the safety chain and put a pipe on the cylinder and pump the brakes up that way. this takes two people to do this so take your time.

You have a point.

Let me re-phrase- if you're going to start spending money on your brakes, why not spend it on a safe, reliable system you can depend on?

I couldn't agree more, and I'll add that you can't control them independently or adjust them relative to the truck... but on a boat trailer, you're kinda' stuck with them. Electric brakes hate getting dunked in lakes, and most of us aren't using trucks with air brakes.
