Default Re: Bucking trailer!!!!!!!!!!!

The trailer is for my 32' boat. It is an all steel Eagle. Heavy as chit. Truck is a Ford 250 SD. When I say 'lock out, what I did was to energize the bleed off back up solinoid with a jumper wire to my parking lights. So any braking pressure was relieved and dumped back into the master cylinder. I just towed it around the block that way and I can tell it is back there. You know about giving the Ins Co. any reason to refuse settlement if the occasion ever happened..........

Ideally an electric brake setup would be the fix since the braking pressure is adjustable. But for the 6x/yr of towing unloaded, will just have to put up with it.
