When you back down the ramp with surge brakes then they will not function eitherI had a 270 Sundancer that the above upgrades were done for. I would never ever want to put a boat that size down a ramp with no Trailer brakes. Good luck with that.
When you back down the ramp with surge brakes then they will not function either
Mine weighs in at 8800lbs with trailer with all tanks empty but I have a 2500 Ram. But I have backed this down the ramp with my old 1500. But what I was saying is if you have surge brakes they will not function when backing down a hill anyway. Or are you saying a bigger boat would/should have electric brakes? I need to look at my brakes as they don't seem to be working like they should so I'm interested in hearing about the electric brakesYes sir! That system works very well with an adequately sized truck and an Under 24 foot boat. When you start backing and 8000 to 12,000 pound boat trailer down the steep ramp it is highly comforting to have brakes.
When you get to a big boat and a tri-axle trailer the tail starts to wag the dog.
Do you have brakes on both axles?a buddy has electric hydraulic on a 35 foot fifth wheel car hauler,,he says thats the way to go.
i have elctric on my triple axle boat trailer, they work ,,but not as good as i would like.
but the boat is a 38 scarab,,,so i am hauling 14000.
