I am happy to help!
To replace the 4-way connector on your 2018 Shoreland'r Boat trailer I recommend the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - 18" Long # 002402.
The reason your harness has 2 brown wires is one runs down each side of the trailer, instead of having to run a jumper wire between the two sides.
It is a little odd that it has two grounds (white wire) but you can connect them together and then connect them to the white wire on the # 002402.
I recommend using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5 for a weather tight connection.
I included a video of the # 002402 being installed for you to take a look at.
