4-Way Flat Harness Recommendation For Boat Trailer To Match Truck Harness
Question:
I have a 4-way flat on my pick-up and an 4-way round on my old boat trailer. Is there an adapter for that? The only one I see has the female 4-way round and I would need male with the pins, not holes. Thanks

Expert Reply:
My best recommendation would be to replace the 4-way round connector on your boat trailer with a new harness like the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector, part # HM48110.
This harness has 12 inch wires and will give you the male pin connector you said you needed. The wiring configuration is as follows:
Yellow - left turn and brake
Green - right turn and brake
Brown - tail
White - ground
For butt connectors to attach the new harness I recommend part # 05731-5. This comes with 5 in a package.
If you need to identify the function of the wires on the vehicle or trailer, I recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2992.
