Regarding the trailer issues. My dealer told me there is no electric trailer brakes on my 252SE boat trailer. They are hydraulic pressure activated. Basically as you slow down and the trailer pushes towards your vehicle the brakes are compressed with the hydraulic pressure of the push. Thats why there is the lockout D pin thing, to prevent the brakes from being compressed by pushing towards the vehicle.

The lockout pin is only for emergency use, the trailer is equipped with a solenoid that disengages the trailer brake when shifted into R. Mine was working straight from the dealer brand new. I had them trouble shoot it at first service as I put a meter to the seventh pin and had a 14v change when shifting into R. Turns out there was power into the relay module going to the solenoid, but no power out. So bad relay module on a brand new trailer. They didn’t have the part, but it will get switched in the Spring.

It was pain in the ass to have to rely on always having to use the lockout pin. Especially as my Glastron trailer always worked perfect and I could easily backup uphill anytime. Never had to use the lockout, the Glastron lockout was different.

So yes, no electric trailer brakes, just surge brakes. However, the trailer brakes should disengage when shifting into R. If they do not you’ll lockup without the D pin in at times, even on flat ground with 21’ or longer as they are heavy. If yours doesn’t disengage when shifting into R, your trailer is faulty and you can get it fixed under warranty.

Good to know. That might have worked as that was pretty close to flat. Don’t think I could have done that the night we brought her home and I tried to back in to our driveway. We live near the crest of a hill. I was trying to back in from the downhill side which I have done many times with our old SeaDoo (no trailer brakes) and our Glastron (surge brakes) with zero problems. We couldn’t get that thing in as it just to much incline. Easy fix as I just turned around and came back up the hill. While up hill we taped in the insert and I backed it right in. I will be glad when I can just backup anywhere

Hi - just saw you guys discussing this, if it ever happens again, in a jiffy, even on a slope you can chock the front of the trailer wheels (one or both) with something, whatever you have, a short piece of 2X4 for example will do, to stop it from moving forward and then ease the tow vehicle forward tight against the chock. This will pull the surge unit apart and allow room to insert the pin piece for backing up.

That is a good idea. The harder part is to remember to bring the chocks. I have used a large rock before.
