Question:
Ive got a question about the surge brakes on my boat trailer. Backing on level ground is fine. But when I back from the street to my drive where theres a slight , my brakes engage. What could cause this?

This is one of the quirks of surge brakes which is why they make reverse lockouts to allow the trailer to be reversed. If you had a Titan actuator for example you'd want the lock out solenoid part # T4748800. If you have a different brand let me know.
If the brakes are drum there might be a set of free-backing plates you could swap to that would allow the trailer to be backed up as well. If you had 12 inch drums you'd need the set part # AKFBBRK-7-D or if you had 10 inch part # AKFBBRK-35-D.
