Suggestions for new Mojo options

Only bonus on the factory pipe is when your boat sinks, liability would be with SC.

and that's a bonus? what I'm amazed with is that these are failing, no matter the frequency it's happening more than just once and doesn't seem to be a widespread recall? both from oem and fae?

Seems so to me too, like I said never tried it myself. There may be enough to just start to engage the brakes, as soon as they began to work the truck would overtake the boat and then the surge would work as designed and stop the boat.
As for whether popping into neutral will do that or not I dunno but I'm going to test it for fun next time I have it hooked up for sure. Good trick for the bag if it works.

last fall we were heading down the ramp truck first. at the bottom I spun around and started backing the boat in. once the trailer tires are in the water I let the gf take over to dump and go park the rig and I tend to the boat. I went to stop about 20ft from boat at the water and we kept sliding toward the water backwards. we slid for about 10ft. I'm not really sure whether or not sheer weight, a patch of good pavement or the trailer brakes finally stopped us BUT I can say that during that few seconds I about $hit myself and no way I would have had the reaction time to pop the truck into neutral IF that would have stopped us. it all happened so fast. I can bet it's the same situation with those that end up vehicle in the water. it was a good lesson and quite a few takeaways for us.
I still can chuckle at vehicles that end up in the water but it almost happened to us and if it never happens to anyone again that would be a good thing.

Was laced with a generous amount of sarcasm, but seriously, it would fall back on SC as a manufacturer defect.

Most trucks end in the water after driver exists truck and takes foot off brakes. Once the foundation brakes release the truck on a slick ramp is free to slide into the lake

Wow!

So you weren't even close to the water? That's insane. What kind of grade is your ramp???? Was it gravel? I'd still be trying to get that pair of underwear clean.

I'd honestly have the boat configurator up on my Iphone before I even had a chance to say "Don't ever let go Rose", to my wife.

Hahaha!

Wife: Are you calling for help!?

Guppy: no I’m posting to the Moomba forum to see what people think of this color scheme

When you go out of reverse the solenoid locks out so the truck pushing on the boat will theoretically push the brakes.
In practice no idea if it works.

On a ramp all the pressure would be on the front of the ball pulling the truck backwards. being in neutral and still on the brakes is not going to shift the pressure to the back of the ball to compress the master cylinder. Going backwards down hill with surge brakes on the trailer in every scenario would be no functional brakes on the trailer.

we were 20ft from the water. it was wet quite a ways up the ramp from the fishing guys pulling out. they show up at 4 or 5am and off the water by 9ish.
ramps are concrete and not crazy steep but the grooves that most ramps have are hit and miss at mead since they have poured so many new ramps from the lake levels dropping.


LOVE your response on the boat builder up. funny chit......
