Question:
I have surge drum brakes on my current boat trailer. I wish to convert it to electric brakes because I hate surge brakes, have to buy a new surge hitch and fix the drum brakes. Please advise on the products that I would need based on the following information: My truck already has brake controller. Trailer is a Magic Tilt, model TALS 2244, 5 on 4 1/2 wheels, tire size ST175/80D13 C , and I have the VIN number of the trailer also. Just let me know

Hey Jeff, thanks for reaching out!
From the information you gave me, I'm pretty sure you have 3.5K axles on your trailer so you'll need the following:
- etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA (1 set per axle)
- Galvanized Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-G-K (2 per axle)
- Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit # ET7WK
- Breakaway Battery Kit # 3802346
- 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 (to run from the coupler and connect the brake assemblies together)
- Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-10
Attached is an article showing how these parts are used in the setup as well for you to check out.

Jon, One question, if I already have drum brakes on the axle will I need to buy the trailer hub and drum assembly? Thank you
