I spoke to a boat trailer manufacturer whose boat trailers came standard with electric brakes or surge, your choice.....I asked him about the dunking issue......he said "what do you think about the millions of trailers with elect brakes that run around in the pouring rain for years with no probs? just service them regularily like you do any trailer and you'll be fine".......OK.......sounds reasonable......he's assuming I'll be in fresh water however.

Please let us know when you figure out how to make surge brakes work in reverse when the trailer is aimed downhill (down a ramp).
Requires very good timing. |

Don't stop until the last time and that should flick the boat off. Make sure that it is completely unstrapped and unchained before you start down the ramp. :D
Requires very good timing. I've draged a suburban down a wet ramp with a 24 cabin cruiser. If it was a 38 beaker I might try it :D |
