Hey all,
I am traveling 6 hours to pickup my new-to-me boat Friday and want to make sure I have the understanding of the braking system as my last boat trailer had no brakes. I am picking up a 2007 Tahoe 222 boat with matching trailer. All I know is the factory trailer has brakes and they work well. From everything I have read it is equipped with Surge Brakes, correct?? Well, prior to reading up, I installed a brake box in the Navigator and it seems I did not need that after all? I have a 7 pin connector for towing and the trailer has a 5-flat connector. I bought a 7-pin to 5-flat connector for the adaptor. Do I need anything else? Do I need the brake box after all or does this trailer apply the brakes on its on being that is supposedly has surge brakes? And I am just assuming it has surge brakes and not some other type, its whatever the 2007 Trailers had on them. Any help is appreciated.
