The specs are 6-10 clicks and the brakes should hold. Although the shoes are self adjusting, the environment in which they live is certainly rust prone, I'd first start by checking the adjustment and the shoe condition inside the rotor hat. If everything fine, then it looks like a cable adjustment is necessary.

There is a minor adjustment procedure (cable) and a major adjustment procedure (shoes) as well as a p-brake shoe lining break in procedure. There's a good chance the minor adjustment will fix your problem.
