Need some recommendations please. I need to add surge brakes to a new boat trailer. I did not order the brakes with the trailer opting to get the boat then decide if I really needed them. Trailer came with the brake flanges on the axle so now the questions are:
1. buy a kit or individual components? Which manufacturers to buy or avoid?
2. Disk or drum brakes.
3. self install or pay someone to do it.
Single axle trailer used in fresh water only with a total package weight around 3000lbs.
I am pretty good mechanically so the idea of adding the brakes doesn't bother me as long as I get started with the right components.
Thanks for you help.
