Recommend a Weight Distribution System for a Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes

Question:

Which Weight Distribution Hitch Assembly would I for a boat trailer made by Heritage with a swing away pole tongue with surge brakes? The trailer is tandum axle with 4 wheel disc brakes rated for 4000lbs. I do not want to imped the hydraulic action of the mastercylinder built into the trailer tongue.

Expert Reply:

The only WD Systems that we offer that will work with surge brakes are the Reese SC Systems. I recommend part # RP66153. I have included a link to the installation details.

In addition to the WD System, you would need a pole tongue adapter. We have a pole tongue adapter that will work with the Pro Series WD, part number # RP58393.

Although an adjustable shank is included, the trailer ball is not. For a 2 inch ball, use part # A-90. For a 2-5/16 inch ball, use part # 19286.

I have linked an FAQ on common weight distribution questions.
