I should also note that my boat is a small aluminum 14 footer it and the trailer doesn't weigh much.  I am planning on getting it fixed this or next week. But until then low 4x4 and chock it up sounds good.  Worst case scenario, I'll post the link for you guys.

If it is a cable style park brake system it may be as easy as putting a bit more tension back in the cable. Look under neath to see if it has a adjuster before the cable splits off to each caliper/drum.

Also if you get new brakes installed make sure you mention the park brake issue. If you have drums it may not matter much but if they are disks the park brake is a separate system inside the brake disk hub (drum style) and it may get overlooked depending on where you take it.

Should be rear disc brakes with top hat style rotors, park brake shoes on the inside I believe.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I would just fix the brakes and not have to worry about it. A few bucks at napa and a couple hours of time, done.

Sounds like you got your Dakota fixed and you're using it.  Lucky your motor didn't seize after you sucked water through your intake.  Get your emergency brake fixed.  You'll be happier with your truck if you can keep it dry.  If you're in Moses and need a hand shoot me a PM.  I'd be happy to help.

Yeah took it in, compression was good changed the oil then changed again 200 miles later. Learned my lesson. Thanks for the offer.
