Can the Titan Aero 6000 Surge Brake Actuator Be Repaired Or Should It Just Be Replaced

Question:

I have a Four Winns boat and trailer with a Titan Aero-6000 coupler and surge disk brakes. I believe that it needs a few different parts to make it correct. The damper is one of the main pieces since the trailer seems to pull back over bumps and I can move the hitch by hand. Im kind of doubting that it is worth the trouble replacing since there are probably other parts that it will need before too long. What is your suggested replacement for this entire piece?

For a Four Winns Boat Trailer with Titan Aero 6000 Surge Brake Actuator, I recommend replacement using the Titan Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Brake Actuator part # 099-175-20 which is ready to go as is and will be a great fit. The reason I recommend replacement is because of the availability of spare parts. Although we do have the Replacement Damper part # T4502000 and Replacement Master Cylinder part # T4395100 (Confirmed for Aero 6000), there are still several other smaller parts that could go bad that there are not replacements for.

In summary, if you can afford the higher upfront cost of a new actuator this will surely pay off down the road as you won't have to deal with the headache of looking for replacement parts that are no longer produced.

I am installing a new DICO Aero 6000 on my Four Winns trailer. However, on the first filling, I'm not getting the fluid drop at all after 30+ pumps. I'm sending it to an open line just after the backup solenoid to confirm flow. No flow?
