How is that possible, unless someone put hyd brakes one 1 axle, and electric on the other.

I'd like to see pics also.

LOL! I knew you would ask for pics. I'll dig around on the web and see what I can find. My boats in the shop for winter TLC 60 miles away at the moment. It's a triple axle Hi Tech Marine made in Fl. http://www.aluminumboattrailer.com/

Ah...got me off my lazy butt! I could only post pics in the bilge so i started a thread and posted pics here: http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/b...ml#post3285665

I don't know if you can tell anything from the pics. This has me very curious as I could not find anything about having both systems on the web. All I know is my trailer does have surge brakes and I can apply my brakes with the controller in my 07 F-250!

your trailer has surge disc brakes not EOH,
not sure how your controller inside the truck activates the trailer brakes.

I am wondering if it is in the master cylinder? I just tried to call HiTech but they are closed for the holidays. The guys at my boat shop also told me I would have surge brakes if my electric didn't work. Was having an issue with the pigtail loosing power to the trailer.

What is this? Looks like it could be an EOH box...

LOL! That's a bag of grass seed in a bucket behind the trailer! I have to be honest....I am starting to doubt myself. I also can't see any way my tailer has both. I am all but tempted to go hook up and see if my tailer does stop with the brake controller. I also wonder if perhaps the controller could apply the truck brakes?? Dang...I am certain I have tested the brakes with the controller...I am befumbled!

No, you load/unload away from the ramp so as to not tie it up.
