Trailer Breakaway Kit - Kit Only

First you will need to remove the old hydraulic equipment. Remove the surge coupler or actuator, remove all the lines, and finally remove the brake assemblies. If you have 10 inch diameter hub and drums, you may need to replace those as well. If you…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…

You can convert surge brakes to an electric over hydraulic braking system. To do this, you will need an electric over hydraulic actuator and a brake controller. For an electric over hydraulic actuator, I recommend looking at the Carlisle HydraStar…

For the brake wire on your 7,000lb car hauler you will want to use a 12 Gauge Wire #12-1-1 for the power wire. The ground wire can either be grounded to the frame or you can use the Jacketed 2 Wire #12-2-1 if you are not using the frame as a ground.…

...Can these electric brakes be used on a boat trailer. I was wondering if the water fresh water only would be a problem. Thank you...

The only difference between 7-Way Utility and 7-Way RV is the color of the wires. The pin outs are the exact same so either would work just fine with the other. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see that the functions are all the…

The lid of the Bright Way Trailer Breakaway ICU Kit with 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Battery, Charger, and Wire Loom #BW94FR that you referenced has a wiring diagram shown that details how it wires. Not seen is there is a single wire that runs up to running…
