03' Yam Kodiak rear brakes sticking

I've recently noticed that my right brake handle was sticking and I can feel that the rear brakes are dragging. When I look in the manual it says to bring to a dealer, I'd rather not if it is something I can adjust myself. I have adjusted the rear wing nuts but it doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas?

Thx,

Mike

Have you tried spraying lubricant on your linkages and check to see no rocks or mud etc. are jamming them up . If I had your e-mail I maybe able to send you a link to a workshop manual you can download . Way more in depth than an owners manual .

Ours did this too. Never really found the cause but I just finished replacing the rear brake shoes. My best guess is that we got water/mud inside the brake and the cam that applies the brakes was sticking. The cam is attached to the shaft that goes through the backing plate from where the cables are attached. I tried everything to free it all up first. Then it started working better. Not sure what I lubed to make it better. It's really easy to pull the rear brake apart and check it. All you need is a jack and a few wrenches/sockets. No special pullers or anything. I would for sure start at the rear brake and work out from there.

I tried to take off the rear brakes but could not loosen the acle nut. Is there a trick to it? Yes I took of the cotter key.

Either heat the axle nut up or cut it off. they are pretty inexpensive anyways

remember to put some anti-sieze on the threads so you dont have this problem in the future when you go to do any work.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
