    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    I change brake fluid on cars and trailers every 3 years. Most cars these days recommend the 3 year interval. The interval on my Ford F-150 is 3 years.

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    I have actually owned the following brakes. I am ranking them from worst to best: Surge drum Electric drum Surge disc Electric over hydraulic disc The first two are nearly a tie for worst. Disc brakes stop the best hands down no matter if they are surge or electric over hydraulic. I have...

    Does E3 make marine plugs?

    E3 spark plugs are a gimmick. Use the recommended plugs.

    Exhaust Bellows 3.0 cobra

    It won't interfere with anything. I would still put a vent hose on the new one though

    His Joe Rogan/vaccination bull was pretty lame so I agree with you there.

    trim tabs or not?

    I thought you ordered Smart Tabs! Bennet St-16 tabs are completely different. Personally, I call Nautica smart tabs "Dumb Tabs".

    trim tabs or not?

    If I still used my boat in the ocean, I might get tabs but I use my 26' Cobalt in Lake Tahoe only now...no problem getting on plane, we are rarely out when it's rough and no issues with leaning due to loading. My Cobalt is one of the fastest on plane boats I have ever owned even though it's one...

    Thoughts on potential automated pitch calling in MLB

    Thoughts on potential automated pitch calling in MLB

    They already have automated line calls in tennis if requested. I have no problem with that. To me the no shift rule is stupid...learn how to hit opposite field like Freddie Freeman does with the Dodgers. Nobody uses the shift on Freddie.

    F-150 Transmission Issues (I think? . . . No, I thought )

    F-150 Transmission Issues (I think? . . . No, I thought )

    Have you ever changed your transmission fluid and filter during these 200+K miles? I change my ATF every 30K miles. I have the newer 10R80 transmission. First change was a pan drop and filter at 30K. AT 60K it was just a fluid change for the pan by pumping it out. At 90K will be another pan...

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    My Cobalt's trailer has Vault hubs. Supposedly, they can go 5 years between service.

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    With less than 5 miles of towing per year, you could have completely rusty bearings and you would likely be fine.

    Converting to Electric over Hydraulic this week

    I just have someone operate the manual brake control while I open the bleeder valves. It operates the pump continuously. Both of my EOH units have plenty of fluid capacity so no need for a tank. I used to just pull the break away but my latest unit tells me not to do it that way. You are going...
