I am going to replace the rusty Titan surge brake coupler on my boat trailer as its an eyesore. The trailer is galvanized and the coupler and winch are rusty eyesores.
So if I was going to upgrade to electric hydraulic braking now will be the time. A surge coupler is about $350 and a plain coupler with the brake electric/hydraulic controller is $750. I have the brake controller in my pickup.
I will spend the extra $$ if I feel there is a real benefit.
Other options are to remove the current coupler and sand blast it and replace worn parts. Or forget the brakes as my pickup can handle it without trailer brakes.
