Hi,
I just bought a new Crestliner boat and it has surge brakes on it and a 5 wire plug. My Explorer which I am going to be pulling it with has only a 4 wire plug on it. The dealer told me that I can to it with that, just when I am backing up the brakes will lock into place so I have to put some kind of key in so it do not lock up, I also was told by someone else you can turn your wire at a 90 degree angle and turn on park lights and the brakes will not lock up. Has anyone towed a 5 wire with a 4 wire and is it difficult to do these things?
