Default Trailer Brakes

Is it worth the extra money to get Electric/Hydraulic brakes if i'm not around salt water?

Absolutely. It's not a salt water thing. It's that you can easily and smoothly stop in all situations thing.

It's a rough check to write but after you do, you'll be happy you did.

I agree with Captain YARRR, they have nothing to do with salt water and everything to do with more efficient braking. You will not be disappointed and just getting rid of the bumping in traffic or hills was enough for me.

Do a search on this topic; discussed many times. It's the best money you will spend on your towing setup.

Here is my conversion. You can get in to this for about $1000 +/-

It is money well spent. ...and would certainly do it again (immediately) if the next boat has surge brakes.
