I like the Hayes brake controllers.. proportional and time based both.
I "upgraded" from a Hayes Syncronizer time based brake control that worked great to a proportional Tekonsha Primus and later a Voyager. The Syncronizer never failed me and the gain was easy to use on the fly. I still have it on the shelf even though my proportional controllers went with the TV's that I sold.
There is one feature of the time based Hayes that I can't find on the Tekonsha's. If you tap the manual over-ride on the Hayes brake controllers the trailer and TV brake lights will activate. If you do this on a Tekonsha.. nothing happens to the brake lights. Your vehicle will slow down without any brake lights.
This is only in the case of touching the manual over-ride.
Thanks!
