    It's a pain to use the adapter every time I tow my boat with surge brakes. Dont know why none of the manufacturers have a 5 pin in the factory socket considering you can plug a 4 pin into it as well. Has anyone see a socket that would replace the factory on and has a 5 pin?

    Why do you have 5 pins? Just curious. Running extra accessories on the boat?

    The 5th wire powers the reverse lockout for trailers with surge brake system.

    Why not switch the connector on your trailer to a 7 pin?

    Or not overthink it and use a 5-7 adaptor?
