Default Trailer Brakes: Electric vs Hydraulic-Surge

The skeg guard advertisements have hot women, so they have to be good.

My boat/trailer is heavy--12,500LBS. I have a triple
trailer with stainless discs with an electric over hydraulic
controller. Having used surge on numerous trailer, I would never go
back--much smoother braking, and you do have braking backing down--if
wanted, none for
backing uphill unless needed. And, in some states and
where I tow in Canada, you must be able to control the towed vehicles

brakes
from the towing vehicle. I use the
Carlisle "Hydrostar" but there are others.
Good boating, Danlw.


I looked into that system when I bought my boat and trailer 4 years ago.
Thought it had interesting potential. But at that time, they didn't have

a
controller that could accommodate heavy loads (my boat/trailer is 14,200
pounds). Also couldn't find anybody in the trailer business that had any
experience with the Carlisle system. So I ended up with a traditional
surge/drum system on all three axles. Gets the job done, but I'm sure

there
are better options.

How long have you had yours?

What sort of controller do you have in the tow vehicle?

You sound pretty happy with it.

Fascinating. In so much as non sequiturs go.

Do you often find yourself drilling in the wrong tooth?
