> This is a question to Rhodies in the Chesapeake Bay area. A friend who has
a
> boat in the upper bay told me that the Governor of Maryland signed a law
> into effect making surge brakes illegal in the state. He also said that te
> fine was like $500 or more. Supposedly the law was for trucks but as it
> turned out it ended up including boat trailers. I need to put brakes on my
> trailer after I get my boat done ( whenever that happens). Since I live in
> PA but want to sail on the bay this is a concern to me and possibly the
rest
> of you. I have a dual axle trailer that in PA if registered over 3000
pounds
> needs brakes on all 4 wheels to pass inspection. I was going to put 4 disk
> brakes and a new surge unit on it. I think this is the ideal setup for
this
> type trailer. I could use any information on this situation before I spend
> money on something that won't be legal where I want to use it. Any help
will
> be appreciated.
