It doesn't. The e-brake cable goes to this odd looking box. I went and looked at this trailer, and I'm picking it up saturday. The guy wasn't home when I was there, so I didn't get a chance to ask him.Emergency brake incase of a disconnect???
If there is a loop in the wire it should slip over the ball or connect to the vehicle somehow.
there should be a lever or pin that you can engage when backing up so that this does not happen. mine did.The real bitch with these is trying to back your trailer up an incline. Wants to keep applying the trailer brakes.
i have never seen that but ok.I just had to call him, because this is confusing me.
You're 100% right, it has a hydraulic front axle braking system. The rears are electric. He converted the rear to electric in case the hydraulic setup failed.

Yup, forgot about that on some.there should be a lever or pin that you can engage when backing up so that this does not happen. mine did.
surge brakes suck.
Many of the newer surge set-ups that I have seen have a wire in them that goes to your reverse lights, This will disengage the brakes when you are in reverse so you can move.there should be a lever or pin that you can engage when backing up so that this does not happen. mine did.
So that's why boat trailers have a 5 pin flat set up..Many of the newer surge set-ups that I have seen have a wire in them that goes to your reverse lights, This will disengage the brakes when you are in reverse so you can move.
all of the boat trailers ive seen have 5 flat.Never seen a 5 pin flat connector. Just 4 pin. It would be new to me.

I have a five pin on my boat. it works off the reverse lights somehow.Never seen a 5 pin flat connector. Just 4 pin. It would be new to me.
x3surge brakes suck.
Ever had to read a whole thread about this where people have already state most newer boats have a switch wired to the reverse lights to cut out the surge brakes when backing.. Yea that goes so well. :thumb: ( yours is probably old and dont have that. i just felt like being a dick):sonicjay:x3
ever had to back a 26' salmon boat up am incline with surge brakes? it doesnt go well
