Default Boat Trailer Brakes……

Is anyone getting their brakes, specifically rotors to last more than 2 seasons? Growing real tired of all the brake replacements and failures I’ve had.

So far replaced all the brake lines. Original hard lines were run in frame so they rotted out quick. Ran new lines on the inside surface so I’m able to rinse them.

Replaced 2 reverse actuators in 4 years after solenoids went bad. Went to manual lockout which is a PIA but at least it lasts.

Rotors rot to hell no matter what brand or stainless BS they claim to be. I trailer 2 times a year. To the marina in spring and back home in the fall. A total of 8 miles all season. At this point I want to eliminate the brakes system all together.

Boat loaded is 3,000 pounds and my truck has no issue stopping the load. Thoughts?
