Question:
2010 EZ Loader boat trailer with brakes. Do you have a replacement harness for my current 5 way flat trailer connector with 10 wires?

Expert Reply:
There is a very easy solution for you! It does not have 10 wires but is exactly what we use anytime we change these out. The Hopkins 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector w/ LED Test Lights part # HM47913 can be spliced directly to your current wiring color for color. Basically use the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector part # DW05745-5 and splice the two white wires to the single white on the plug. Do this for the 4 remaining colors and you are set. Use a heat gun or other heat source to shrink down the butt connectors to make a weather resistant seal.
