Hello all,
Looking at a boat and trailer around 6000 lbs and it's equipped with electric brakes. In all my other searches, the manufacturers/ dealers put on surge brakes. It's the only manufacturer/dealer I've found that has put on electric brakes on a boat trailer and I'm quite sure it would have cost more than the surge. I've been told by the same dealers with surge brakes that electric brakes may have issues with salt water use. Of course, the one with electric brakes has their own opinion. However, in most trailering situations from RV's to utility trailers, as one goes up in weight, electric brakes tend to be the choice of many... Why is this? Any input or experience would be appreciated.
Just to add, they've also put on electric brakes on their boat trailers with a GVW of 4000 lbs.
