Big Goof Up......left brake cable hooked up and pulled out

For me, I guess I answered my own question regarding a broken cable. $20 from boatmate

Here is the owners manual, with the exploded view of the internals

When I did this last year it was not a fun process to replace the cable, better off replacing the hook...

I was going to suggest that I think the reset procedure is in the manual, but it looks like someone already mentioned that.

Yeah, I did something similar last summer. The cable did not break, but the trailer locked up and truck revved with the weight.

The lever below the tongue was dropped down. I had to feed the cable back in and use the pry bar to reset the tongue as outlined in the manual. I also had to replace the C-clip on the cable. There were two taped on the trailer manual when I bought the boat. All in all, it was about 30 minutes to have all back in working order -- once I found the info in the manual and realized what needed to be done.
