Thanks for the information, looks like we will have to somehow wash down the callipers at launch before we maybe go out to sea for two nights, then back on land for a day then back out to sea for another double overnighter, this may continue for a week to ten days then drive home 1000kms. Local trips are a hell of a lot shorter, launch in the morning, at daylight return around midday then wash with freshwater then drive one hour home & wash down asap after that... what about spraying with CRC just prior to launch will that help in the short tem??????

Snapper, Prior to the 12,000kms, the callipers had been returned to Trojan (Trailcom) & were checked out by Trojan f\due to the previously excessive wear. They were rebuilt by Trailcom Melbourne & tested by their technical staff & I was advised that there was no apparent problems with the callipers. All four calliper were refitted to the trailer by a Trailcom recommended fitter in Brisbane. Now Trailcom are saying that they have never had an issues of this type with their calliper & are claiming it can only be incorrect adjustment of the brake controller or the brake actuator which was adjust by the brake fiiting in Brisbane....sound familiar... Most of my fishing trip are 1000kms from home & I cannot wash the braking units until I return home, then I washed down with hot soapy then wash down with a cold water pressure cleaner. So I am not sure what else you can do...your thoughts would be appreciated.. I am going to rebuild the callipers again, what do you suggest the grease I should on the rubbers & the external cups. I will have to fit new stainless steel rotors on all four wheels & new brake line from the calliper to the first junction. I don't see that I will get any assistance for Trailcom but I remain optimistic Cheers Neil

What brand of braking system was fitted & what brand was the new system. My issue only appears to be with sticking calliper pistons where are bakerlite but this also seriously wears the stainless rotors. I have the Trojan duratorque suspension so can I change the rotors & calliper to another brand Cheers Neil

Has anybody had a problem with Trojan electric/hydraulic braking system for boat trailer???? I have a Trojan system fitted to my dual axel trailer & have a serious problem with brake pad & rotor wear, Trojan are blaming the unit in the car for being incorrectly adjusted or the Carlisle hydrostar actuator unit which is not releasing the callipers. the last set of disc pad on one wheel lasted only 12,000kms & the rotor fractured, with the remaining sets 3/4 wore out & the previous set only lasted 5,000kms.. Trojan are refusing any warranty claims due this type of problem never occurring.. Cheers
