    I used to pull my 40' excalibur to burnham harbor ramp. Brakes were well, non existant. Brake system was vacuum over hydraulic.Yep, two jumbo rubber vacuum hosed you attached near the hitch provided the truck was setup with that. Trailer had a huge air tank/vacuum canister mounted inside the frame rails. Then there was a big brake booster and master cylinder on the trailer. I actaully read they were a good setup in the 80's.

    I'd like to try a different electric controller. I have a "hoppy" brand now. Bbob about smacked his chest off the steering wheel when first pulling his cig with my setup. I had the gain all the way up as my boat trailer brakes were in need of adjustment bad. I dont know diddly bout them other than some are inertia activated and some are ???? something else. I thought i remember something about the tekonsha prodigy ones that were good a few years back.

    No worries Mike. You know you got a HEAVY boat when you hook up to a older 38 top gun and it feels like a bass boat compared to what your used to! 15,300lbs on the trailer axles and 1400 on the tongue....with no fuel. I dont know why i just dont put a hitch on the Mack
