Disassembled calipers, smoothed all contact edges on pads, shined up and lubed the stainless sliders, cleaned and lubed pins. Still need to flush the brake fluid and snug up the bunk hardware.
Replaced the c range china maypops with D range Goodyears.
 
Tow pig's steerbox input shaft seal gave it up.
Spiffy new Redhead steerbox, all done, chase bubbles in the morning.

My shorelander trailer.
Most issues are documented at the dealer. I haven't had any boat warranty issues warranting a trip to town.
Repairs have been completed by me, sans the brake line replacement.
Shorelander installed electrical and braking systems for a much longer trailer.
Wiring harness was pinched between frame and suspension. Wiring worked for a short period of time, direct short to ground popped fuses in my peecup.
Brake line is looped inside frame rail.
Hubs and bearings,
Offshore wheel bearings show signs corrosion, appears trailer may have sat in a puddle. Bearings also show wear lines indicating skidding, poor install and verified by the small amount of yellow grease used by shorelander.
I have ordered Timken bearings and race's, Timken seals and new sleeves.
I have also trimmed, soldered and heat shrinked the wire harness.
Trailer has a single 3500lb axle.
Trailer is rated at 3000lb.
Rig is at max weight rolling with fuel and some gear.
Yamaha told me the boat is not over 3000lbs. I weighed it at scale and it was 4700 lbs.the trailer is too light with single axel.
