Never seen a 4 flat that will run the brakes. 2 wires for turn signal/brakes, 1 wire for running lights, 1 wire for ground.

Never seen one of those before. I suggest buying a standard 7 pin connector and replacing that one.

Haha I knew it looked weird when i wrote it. I meant for the lights. the brakes arent electric. Im assuming all the new GM's have the same connector, just wondering where i can find that connector that goes into the truck that has a 4 flat on the other end

NOT POSSIBLE...... It takes 4 wires to run the lights. Gotta have at least 5 for brakes.......... They make a 5 wire flat thou........ My boat trailer did not have brakes when I bought it....... I added brakes..... Most boat trailers do NOT have brakes.

But I am glad somebody else owns my boat now....

The definition of a boat is as follows. "A hole in the water you throw money into."

That guy that bought mine has that hole in the water now... Best day of my life is when he took the notes up....

Yeah, I bought it in 02 51k..... Had it 2 years..... The first year it spun the crank in one engine (2x 250 mercury's)...... Dealer did not want to replace it. Ended up Rod Bolts were not torque right... Mercury factory rep came out to the shop I took it to after the dealer would not fix it under warranty. He gave me a BRAND COMPLETE engine. And he took the old motor to the dealer and showed them what an UNDER TORQUED rod bolt does to a crankshaft. Seems like every time I took that boat out it was at least 200 bucks that was not gas, in the boat for something.

It would pull any body......... With one motor running and the other one off.......... I rarely EVER cut the engine on that pealed the crank down....... It had 2 COMPLETELY SEPARATE hour meters one had like 80 some odd hours and the other had like 5 or 6 hours....... When the rod pealed the crank down..........

Next one I get is gonna be an inboard (I already have my engine and it is a marine 455 Oldsmobile). I guess I am gonnna finish college first thou......
