Trailer brake issues... need help!

I have a 98 rinker boat with an Eagle trailer. The wheel cylinders were rusted up and shot, didnt work. I put new wheel cylinders on and the brakes do work but i have backed the adjusters as loose as they go and my brakes drag... i pull it and pop the truck in neutral at a slow roll and the trailer stops me, not really abrupt but it does stop me.. i also put a IR temp gun to the drums and they are all of 300 degrees.... these are surge brakes and only susposed to activate when the tounge of the trailer is being pushed in... what can i do to cure this prob?
