electric/hydraulic brake issue???

I had the same thought on the pump. Given the size of the boat, both in weight and length that the brake fluid must travel, I wonder if the pump isn't up to the task of pushing the brake fluid to 6 calipers that are that far away; in timely fashion to feel deceleration.
Might be worthwhile disconnecting the third axle's brakes and seeing if there is a difference.

all I am look'n 4 is properly work'n brakes w/ a 1/2 to 1 second delay like my 06 myco, not 3-4 seconds! other than that boat pulls & loads great, just like my 06 did!! don't think that is unreasonable to look 4 from a supposed top shelf trailer maker!!! do U??????

I'm having problems with a E/H system too. If I pull the break away when the trucks started they seem to work. I'm pulling with a 2008 GMC I just jack knifed the trailer going down a hill because the brakes didn't come on and I got into some gravel and shoved sideways. Just got the truck out of the body shop after a $4,100 bill. Our trailers now in a shop in STL so they can figure it out. It's also a newer Myco trailer. I'll let you know what they find out too.

Wrink, I think if there were any air in the lines or a restriction there would be a delay time for the pump to build any pressure to the calipers. If there is no air in the lines or restriction and after several trucks and brake controllers, I think that leaves the pump. But I would make sure they are bleed real well before I went to the pump. P.S I'm not so sure steel lines are better, lined or stainless maybe, but I have had too many plain steel lines fail on me. Plastic doesn't rust from the inside out and seems to take some flexing. Just my opinion. Doug
