"Last line of Defense" cord on Shorlandr trailers

Also I learned: ..... it is wise to service your brakes annually (whether you have used the trailer a lot or not) and have them bled. Bleeding adds new fluid to the reservoir, then pumps some out the calipers, removing air (primarily) along with some of the contaminated fluid (which then gets replaced with the stuff in the reservoir). A brake flush will replace all of the fluid (other than some remnants).
AND may I add:
@tdonoughue ..... if you don't have them on your trailer bearing buddies are great as long as you don't over grease them or on a hot day you will have grease spray all over your wheels, trailer and boat hull.....and how would I know that your ask? :cool:
 
@Canuckjetboater , BTDT... Yes, for the bearings, bearing buddies are great. Got them, abused them, learned from them.

Btw, when you quote, be sure you go below the [ / Q utoe ] (did that on purpose so the system doesn't recognize it, but you will see what I mean) thing to add your comment. Otherwise it puts your comment within the quote. But above all, keep those good contributions coming and thanks for them.
