Brakes got HOT / Help

[Coke]

OK ... So this morning I head to the lake for a few hours of fishing. I put the boat in, park, and go back to look at my bunk boards and side boards. I helped a buddy replace his over the weekend so just wanted to check, no problems, everything looks good. After a few hours it's time to load up and head home, put the boat on the trailer and pulled up into the lot to wipe it down, no problems. Now I head home, about a 30 minute drive, and back into the driveway up a small incline. When I get out and walk back to the boat I smell brakes. The hubs are HOT, I spit on them and the water turned to steam instantly. No problem backing into the drive or any noticeable drag coming home. My buddy stopped by and we pulled the wheels off, everything looked good with the pads and caliper. The wheels were covered with a light coating of brake dust. We checked the brake fluid, all good and no air in the lines. It seems like the brakes are just not fully releasing. It's a 2011 Marine Master trailer. Any ideas on what it could be?

I had a tear in the boot and caliper rusted close. Never noticed with a full ton dura max till I dipped it into the lake

I have a Marine Master 2008 model that my Triton rides on. The dampener in the tongue went out and about a year later I replaced it. On the way home smoked started pouring out of the wheel wells. At the end of the day it was determined that the calipers had rusted and with the new dampeners when I applied the brakes they worked more than had in the past and locked down on the wheels. Had them replaced along with the Vaults on those wheels.....they got HOT

Try hitting the push rod release bracket and stroking the push rod to see if they release. Here's a link to the manual for an A60 actuator. See figure 7

OK, I think it's fixed (hope so). After checking the alignment of everything to do with the wheels, all was fine there. Checked for air in the brake lines, nothing there. Looked for anything obvious inside the tongue, from what I could see all seemed fine. So on Friday I took a suggestion from another BBC member and it seemed to work. I sprayed "Liquid Wrench" in the tongue, into every nook and cranny I could. I let it sit for about 30 minutes, then with a chock in front and back of both wheels, rocked it back and forth pretty good about a dozen times. Then I sprayed some more and let it sit a little while longer. Then I took it for a test drive, drove 20 minutes and pulled over to check the hubs, they were cool. Took off and drove some more, all still good, so turned around and headed back toward the house. Got home and backed in to the driveway, got out and checked it out, all still seemed good and cool to the touch. So after driving about 1 1/2 hours everything seemed to be working again. Yesterday we had a club tournament at Lake Moomaw, a beautiful place in the mountains about 1 1/4 hours from home. Pulled the boat up there and back and everything worked fine, no problems, and even caught some fish. Only thing I can think of is that something in the tongue was not fully releasing, hopefully this loosened it up and no more problems.

I think I’m having the same issue once I get the the lake the rims are hot almost to hot to touch. We’re you experiencing this ?

I didn't even touch the wheels, just the hubs. Both of my hubs were too hot to touch, I touched the hubs with wet fingers and they sizzled.
