Hi everyone,
I bought an 07 Ranger 188vs with matching trailer at the end of our season last year. I'm picking it up from storage today but I got a message from the boat storage saying there was no brake fluid in the brake coupler. From what I understand the brake actuator is the the model 70LP.
The mechanic doesn't have time to fix it and I think I can so I wanted to know if I should:
a) Fill the resivoir, cross my fingers and hope it works fine - I'm assuming I should do some sort of bleeding process after filling?
b)buy a new kit if I can find one.
Obviously 'a' is cheaper but would it be bad to do this for some reason?
I've worked on cars but never trailers (last boat was an 89 and didn't have any brakes on the trailer) so this new to me.
I did drive with the trailer a few times at the end of the season so its probably been running dry for a long time, as I didn't check it when I bought it. Live and learn as they say.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks@
