Re: Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
Derailed?
No thread derails here guys. It’s who we are!
I have the electric over hydraulic system on my trailer. I hated the surge brakes on my old trailer. Very unpredictable, and not very reliable when you are in trouble. They also drag when descending down a hill all on their own. Then there’s the constant bounce of the surge unit spring going back and forth...
The E/H system was pricey $1,200 option with Kodiak stainless discs, but IMO, brakes are the most important and overlooked safety upgrade. Instantaneous, very adjustable with a controller, and can stop like there’s nothing in tow. Definitely keeps you out of trouble from jokers in traffic. Well worth it Katie..
One thing you may need to do is double check all of your lines. The system line pressure runs 1,500 lbs per square inch..

Re: Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
Haha, old pictures of when I brought the trailer home back in July, but still looks the same.
They paint with a real human behind a paint gun using PPG epoxy primer, paint and clear system. Automotive quality finish. So easy to keep clean.

Re: Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
Way to bring the thread back online T! Ive always wanted to have my very own derailed thread! My day has been made!
I have to admit it's not always Mrs. Nauti posting on here... But I like that everyone assume it's me asking about trailer brakes and mechanical things lol. Those posts are Mr. Nauti...that's his area of expertise not mine, even though he is trying to teach me!

Re: Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
My trailer is a 2017 model EZ-Loader with Electric 6 wheel brakes.. I was terrified to submerge it until they explained it's fine to leave it plugged when underwater..
It does stop amazing and better than any surge style trailer I've owned..

Re: Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
Boat trailer electric drum brakes are the same magnet style brakes, but the electronics are fully submersible.

Re: Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
As I understand yes but able to operate due improvements in sealing wiring.. I'm old school as I used to unplug my trailers when getting them wet.. so far it's been wet 4 times so I'll see.
Finally a weather pack connection that really works..
I do like not having to worry about checking fluid

Fresh water..
Yes.. actually 70 miles.. port of Stockton is the last stop of the inland water way from San Francisco.. turns to fresh water about 25 miles inlandBig Block Power wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 1:47 pm He's 7 miles inland from what I remember. Fresh water.
Years ago if we launched in the bay we would re launch the boat just to rinse the trailer.
I got the strange looks the next morning when I asked the marina if I could just dunk the boat for a few minutes... haha..
Yes I'm that guy.. I hate what salt does to trailers
