I do have a great option for you, however the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller referenced in your question is not compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes.
I instead recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is an excellent, proportional controller that will activate your boat trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your tow vehicle. This unit features an easy to read digital display, continuous diagnostics that will alert you to any potential issues, and is compatible with your electric over hydraulic disc brakes.
If you can tell me the year, make, and model of your tow vehicle, I will be happy to see if there is a Plug-In Adapter available that will make for easy installation of the controller.
