Sounds like your boat trailer has two wires ran to each circuit on your current 4-way which isn't uncommon. Basically one wire is ran to each side of the trailer wiring so what you would need to do is run the matching circuits from both sides of the trailer wiring to the single wire of a 4-way like the part # 002402. This is a very common way to handle the setup you have now and it will work great.
