Lenght of Cable for Surge Brake

Post by vatalon »

Can someone give me the length of the cable that runs from the surge brake to the tow vehicle?

In my old skydiving days we would have called it a "Last Hope Rope". When I picked up the boat from the dealer, he hitched the boat to my car and I did not notice that he forgot to attach the cable to the car. By the time I got the boat home, it was considerably shorter than it was to begin with. Although I do not plan to have a seperation of my trailer from the tow vehicle, I figure it's about time I fixed it.

Mine is 37-3/8" including the loops on the ends. Of course, it's 36 degrees outside right now, so it may have shrunk some. :D
