I have a boat trailer with a 4 pin flat to the truck but it has 7 wires to the flat . need a replacement pig tail trailer end . would like a round plug rather then a 4 pin flat .

Expert Reply:
You would simply use the 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector # A7WCB to change your boat trailer from the 4-Way Flat # 18172. The 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20043 you found would also work but it contains wires you do not need as you will still only connect your 7 wires to the 4 pins for the ground, running lights, and left/right turn signals/brake lights.
