Surge Brakes

[99tritonrob]

I pull a 20 foot triton boat with surge brakes, and my problem is that it is very jerky when being pulled. Is there an adjustment so that there isn't so much free play with the tongue?

Thanks

There is a shock absorbed inside the tongue that should take that jerky feeling out. Your shock might be bad or your master cylinder is empty and your brakes are not working at all and letting the tongue slide all the way back when you come to a stop and then it pulls all the way forward when you take off again and this will feel jerky. Maybe you should describe jerky when being pulled. Are you saying while you are pulling it down the road a 60 mph and it is jerky???? If that is it, then all I have said at first is out the window.

The jerky feeling is the tongue is sliding back and forth, in my opinion to freely especially when travelling slow on bumby roads.
