What parts did you use?

I just converted my new trailer from surge to Electric/hydraulic.I used a Acti Brake pump with buit in tank,simple hook up and it flows alot of fluid and produces 1400 # of pressure.It really feels good knowing you can stop!!

Did Saul at Accurate do it?

Hi Rick,

Hi.

Is the electric over hydraulic so that an electric signal from the brake lights actuate a solenoid which allow pressurized brake fluid go into the regular hydraulic brakes? What senses the retardation and adjust the amount of brake pressure to the brakes? Is it a G-forze sonsor or something?

We don't have that kind of brakes here. I am thankful for a discription.

You can buy all the parts here:

There is a brake controller in the truck, that is actuated by your brake pedal. The controller then sends a varying electric voltage back to your braking system on the trailer. The potentiometer in the brake controller allows you to increase or decrease the electrical DC voltage sent to the trailer actuator, which allows you fine tuning for your brake system based on load and conditions. You can also set, and lock your brakes if needed. There is a battery on the trailer, and a break away cable from the truck, as such if your trailer breaks away from the truck, the battery system on your truck applies the brakes in an emergency.

here is the pic of the conversion, you don't even notice that it's there looking at the trailer from the side.

Is that unit COMPLETELY sealed from water/weather?? If it gets wet due to a unplanned splash at the launch ramp, or whatever, your brakes are going to go haywire. It may be better to have that mounted higher, maybe up on the winch post.

I do like the way it looks.

yep it is completely sealed. it will get wet i have had that part of the trailer underwater a couple of times
