I would run them as they are, if you come across a 10 mile decent stop after 5 and pour a bottle of water on each wheel. I wouldn't want to not have breaks encase I need them. So your saying the boat pushing down hill applies the breaks, you are right but as soon as the breaks grab, it releases most of the pressure and just ever so lightly drags along. Add in wheels roll resistance and wind resistance it's minimal when they are working correctly.

A old trailer that may have an issue as simple as air in one line over working the other side will definitely get hot. Just run itthe wind flowing past the wheels will cool a lot.

My experience with performance motorcycles and spots cars is they can glow orange and it won't hurt much al least not in 5 minutes
