• Parts Needed To Add Electric Drum Brakes To A Pontoon Trailer
  Hey Jeremy, Typically with boat trailers the manufacturer will install hydraulic surge brakes because you don't have to worry about the water damaging wires like you would with electric brakes. That being said, if you use a heat shrink butt connector # DW05745-10 you'll be able to protect your electrical connections and shouldn't have a problem. To add brakes you'll need to check the axle/spindle to see if you have a brake mounting flange. If you don't then you'll have to buy new axles...

  Hey Robyn, You can definitely add a solar charger to your breakaway kit, but there is not one that we carry that has a solar charger included. I would recommend going with the Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802336, which comes with a trickle charger already but only when you are plugged into the vehicle. What you can do with that is pair it with this solar battery charger, # PTW2997, that will simply mount next to or near the breakaway kit and charge it through solar. What kind...

• Is There Small Battery That Could be Used for Trailer Wiring that Runs Up to Battery
  Hey Erik, unofficially I have a solution for that with the Bright Way Trailer Breakaway kit part # 3802336. This is a pretty small battery in a box you could run your converter box to instead of all the way up to the vehicle battery but I have to emphasize this is not recommended and you'd run chance of killing the battery and not having trailer taillights.

• Does Wiring Up Trailer for Winch and Lights Require Relays
  You can use just a switch and not have to worry about adding relays. It would require you to use a heavier gauge wire for the battery like 10 gauge part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot.

• How Does Trailer Breakaway Battery Wire to Trailer with Aux Battery
  Basically you'll be wiring the 12 volt accessory circuit you have now that is charging the current battery also to the breakaway battery so that the charge circuit charges both batteries.

• What Info Is Needed to Add Brakes to Utility Trailer
  Hey Morris, to determine what would be needed to add brakes to your trailer will come down to a few things. First we'd need to know the axle capacity of the trailer, it would need to have brake flanges on the spindles, and we'd need to know the wheel bolt pattern. I attached a help article that will walk you through this entire process. And then to allow the brakes to activate in the event of a disconnect you would need to have a breakaway kit installed like the # 3802336.

• What Brake Assemblies and Hug/Drums Do You Recommend for My Axis 3500 Axle?
  In order to know exactly what brakes/hub + drums you need, we need to know how many lugs you have on your Axis axle, but we also need to know the distance between the lugs. The most common setup for a 5-lug axle is a 5 on 4-1/2 inch. I went ahead and attached an article on how to measure the lug spacing.
