Default Trailer Brake Conversions

Does anyone know if the Trailer conversion systems for Drum to Disk brakes
on the Internet are any good?

The Drum breaks on the trailer for my 20' Runabout have corroded after a few
years. I dip it in the Ocean a few times a year and the works have all
rusted out over time. It's hard to rinse the salt out of the insides.

I'd like to convert this to a disk break system. The place where I bought my
trailes says they can do it for $1000. The systems on the internet such as
the "Tie Down" system run about $300 for 2 wheels plus the actuator. It
looks like a simple conversion so I don't know what I'm missing.

Is this a hard thing?
Are these systems on the Internet such as the" Tie Down" really junk as my
trailer guy says so?
Is the $1000 due to "hassle factor"?

Any help would be really appreciated. I don't know anyone I can ask for
advice on this that dosen't want to charge me a bunch of money.

Thanks,

Dave
