Boat Trailer

Hi All,

Looking at a trailer which weighs 420kg for a Whittley Sea Legend which fully loaded is just on 2 tonne and have a few questions,

1) If the boat and trailer come in under the 2.5 tonne it will not need electric over hydraulic brakes

2) Will the trailer need to have brakes on all wheels being over 2 tonne

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Anything over 2t requires braking on both axels, A braking system operated from the driver position (electric), and a breakaway system.
