I have a 99' Toyota Epic 22 boat and an Ameritrail trailer.
I lost the metal clip to lock the brake for the front of my trailer. I'm talking about the 3" metal bracket that clamps onto the trailer. I do not have light plugs on the towing vehicle yet, so I'm a bit stuck.
I called Boat U.S., local boat dealers and even a specialized trailer shop and none of them had that part or at least didn't have it for sale.
I did some research on the web and found Ameritrail's contact info.
Unfortunately, even Ameritrail does not sell that part anymore.
My questions are:
1) The guy on the phone at Ameritrail was describing a method to back up the trailer (without having the brakes lock up) by opening a compartment at the front of the trailer and turning a wedge? And then pushing a button to turn on brakes again? I've been using the metal clip to do this. Anyone know what the guy was describing? He said it was located at the front, near the ball...where the brake fluid goes.
2) How do I maintain the trailer? How often am I supposed to change brake fluid? What are those buddy bearning things? And am I supposed to grease those everyonce in a while?
For the record, here's Ameritrail's info:
