Bled brakes - Mushy pedal gone

Orlando Titan · 06-21-2004, 10:04 AM

Bled my brakes 2 weeks ago and still have a firm pedal. Wanted to wait before posting as I did not know if it was a temporary fix or not. Have drove about 1000 miles since ( trailered my boat to the Keys for 10 days). Has made a huge difference in my satisfaction with the brakes. I still expect to get the vibration problem, but at least the pedal does not go to the floor anymore.

Thanks for the update Orlando. Good information to know. I might have to do this this weekend.

Someone posted somewhere about simply hitting the brake pedal 8 times or so while the vehicle is off, and it seems to fix the spongy brakes. I tried it on my Armada, and it improved after the first time. Did it again the next day and the brakes are nice and tight now. I'll let y'all know how it holds out. Seems to work, though.

Tried that too. Lasted about 1 week. That is why I waited before posting. Got sick of pumping brakes once a week to make them feel right.

Catch any fish? What kind of boat?
I usually fish at Sebastian with my Logic 17 CC.
Snook, redfish trout, and jacks (yuck).

Dolphin (mostly schoolies), black fin tuna, snapper (yellow tail and mangrove), grouper, cuda, and sharks.

18' Wellcraft CC and also went out on a 25' Blue Water
