Electric over hydraulic?

Electric over hydraulic disc... Yes, very common
Electric disc (what was said "Regardless if electric drum, disc or hydraulic (or electric disc), ").... Nope, never seen those.

Re: Confused: Electric brakes for marine use?

What do you guys with electric brakes do about the breakaway battery and switch? On my trailer I recently converted to electric because the hydraulics were such a mess. I have a seadoo that sits on the front of the trailer and pretty much the whole trailer goes under when I launch. So there really isn't any spot to place these parts where they wouldn't be totally under water.

mine is on the winch stand..... you COULD put yours on a quick detach bracket with a plug to remove it while launching
