I want to do away with the hydraulic brakes and install an electric brake system instead. Does anyone have electric brakes on their boat trailer? I’ve heard mixed opinions on them for boat trailers such as “you can’t mix electricity and water” and “they’ll rust.”

My take is Hydraulic brakes will rust too and if I waterproof all of my connections shouldn’t I be fine?

I drive a 2010 Silverado 1500 and, with living in Arizona, I would feel much safer with trailer brakes when driving through the mountains.
