    Battery Relocation?

    I added a second battery to my GW 180 near the starboard transom area...and at WOT the listing to port virtually disappeared. Can't attribute the change to anything else! GOA :lol:

    Trailer Brake Maintence

    I'm amazed at the number of views and 20+ people who have responded. One thing we know for sure...Trailer Brake Maintence is a concern for all of us!

    Trailer Brake Maintence

    Over many years of trailering, I have NEVER worn out my brakes...they just rust away...and stainless rotors have not made much of a difference. Like everyone, I have heard great things about Kodiaks...I also read that two former employees started their own company with more reasonable prices...

    Trailer Brake Maintence

    My Grady 180 Sportsman sits atop a name brand roller trailer with disc brakes. The trailer is dunked in salt water at least 15 times a year and after EACH use the brakes are flushed with fresh water. Bottom-line every three to four years, I'm replacing the entire brake assembly. This year I also...
