Please please help: breakway cable issue
Hi guys,
after a great day of fishing in Boston Harbor, we managed to snap the breakaway cable on the trailer. We parked the boat under heavy rain and in trying to go quick we forgot to but the blocks behind the wheels. As we cranked the tongue jack up the boat slowly backed up. The safety chains got tight and the breakaway cable snapped. I am supposed to go on a 4 days trip to Montauk, NY on Thursday and right now it's panic mode. I tried to tow the boat on the parking lot and things were fine but I understand that it might end-up being an issue on the highway. How can I check if the safety mode got engaged? Can I reset it easily? My boat dealer is an hour away from me and it's all highway so even bringing the boat to the dealer would be an issue. I am attachig a pic of the cable if that's of any help. Thanks,

West Marine has several stores in your area Pax which should have the parts you need. Click here to find the store nearest you
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...section=stores I though am not aware of any safety mode (trailer brake wise) that would "still" be engaged and if so, dragging it 5 feet would tell you such by it having a locked up tire that will not roll  We can always have chat session later on tonight if you would like to have a "Think Tank" session to address your issue though before your trip  Just let me know

Long story short. The breakaway cable snapped but never pulled the emergency break.
According to my dealer if the emergency break is engaged the thing to do is to look under the tongue and use a screw driver to pull back to big spring.

You would think that the brakes would of engaged after it snapped. I would also make sure that all is working.
