I just got surge brakes mounted on my boat trailer - cost me $900! (Better of 2 bids.)
The second time I hitched up, I accidentally forgot to flip the tab up whilst lowering the coupler onto the ball. On my previous coupler, no problem - I'd just stick a big screwdriver up there and work it until I got the tang unstuck.
This new surge unit makes getting to the interior mechanics quite difficult. I was finally able to get the tang to give way, but it's never worked right, since. Sometimes, I can't get it to unhitch, and I have to bump the truck back & forth to get the coupler to unhitch. The lever on top doesn't really pop into the "up" position like it originally did.
Any suggestions?
