Fwiw, I went with the M&G air brakes, the mopar harness bush pilot recommended, and a blue ox baseplate and avail towbar. About 5000 miles so far. I like the simplicity of the air brakes and the ease...

Do you have someone with a light truck standing by to launch for you, or do you use a lift to put the boat in the water?

Gonna derail my own thread here and really show my noob-ness: How the heck do you navigate secondary roads with a boat hitched up like that?! Can you really turn right from a two way two lane to a...

They offer a breakaway for that installation that pulls and holds the brake cable with a separate cable.
