Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector w/ Jacketed Cable - Trailer End - 14' Long
I rewired my boat trailer using the wesbar 4-flat connector from junction box to the hitch. I do wish the wesbar connector was available in tinned wire. I used tinned 14 ga tinned wire for the rest of the wire and ran a ground wire to every light eliminating the trailer frame as a ground. Also added a switch at junction box for a manual trailer reverse flood lights. Filled the junction box with removable potting Gel to prevent water/corrosion. Works great. No issues. Never been stuck on the side of the road troubleshooting an electrical issue / bad ground. Would purchase this again, unless I could find a marine/tinned wire version, then I would purchase that one instead.
We installed this cord on a tilt bed trailer that we use to transport scissor lifts. We have multiple trucks that pull this trailer and the receptacle on these trucks are in different locations. This required using a 4 flat extension on many of them and as you would expect, the extensions come up missing and of course no one knows what happened to them. We tried every trailer supply store in the Phoenix area and no one carries a cord like this. Because this one is 14' long, we can cut off what we don't need and wire it into the J-box on the trailer and make it long enough that we don't need an extension. Great product.

Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector w/ Jacketed Cable - Trailer End - 8' Long
Really quality piece. Plenty of length to connect back to the rest of my utility trailer wiring that was still in good shape since it was in an area subject to far less abuse. Nothing worse than having to fix the corroded wires in between replacing the worn out plug every few years. This should give me years maintenance free service even with the toll winter takes.
This is the 2nd one of these I have purchased. They are a good product (therefore the 2nd purchase) but have a few areas that could be improved. 1) In cold northern winters (MN -10 F), the cable gets very stiff, because of the lack of flex, my trailer connection pulled out when turning, dragged on the ground and ground down the plug. 2) the connection where the cable jacket meets the plug separated (again, due to cold weather?). Even though I would prefer a more temperature-forgiving flexible cable, I believe this design is better than the other 4-flat trailer-end wiring harnesses currently available. I also purchased a Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Trailer End to as a quick fix to this cable to temporarily fix my trailer wiring until permanent repairs can be done.
