Ballpark, How long to do surge brakes last?
Which components of the braking system are we talking about? The actuator, brake lines, the pads/rotors, or is this a trailer with drum brakes?
Depends on how much you tow and whether the boat is stored indoors. My trailer was 15 years old when I replaced the brake axle because of a bent spindle. Brakes were fine then, but I upgraded to disc brakes on the new axle so I changed the actuator too. Still working great after another 12 years.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
Way too many variables for a good answer.
My last rig was 13 years old with the same pads and I pull a lot but on mostly flat ground.
Brake pads are original on my trailer. So are the tires. I have replaced the actuator.

I had my calipers lock up on a 13 year old trailer that I had just bought. After looking over everything I went ahead and replaced everything including calipers, actuator, and brake lines. The actuator was full of sludge so I figured the brake lines were also suspect.
