UPDATE......
Ordered my maxbrake but will not install it yet. Looking over the trailer today I made a gruesome discovery.... Left rear brake hose has a pair of vise grips clamped down on the hose!!!!!!
The brake calipier is falling off and was scraping the rim and rotor!!! dont see any bolts or hardware to the calipier. I was so p*ssed off that I just continued to start to winterize the boat. I will pull the wheel off this week and see what needs to be done to get her back in shape. And to think I paid someone(Ed Hatch,AHAB marine surveyer) two weeks ago to check over everything and to miss something like this doesn't reflect very well on him. Seller states he was unaware of the situation, poss a shop did a poor repair or something. 450 miles to get home, I'm very thankfull that there where no situations that I need the brakes for a panic stop or something. That really could have turn into a bad situation fast.
