Question:
What is the difference between Dexter DX series electric over hydraulic actuator, Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator and Dexter BrakeRite II Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator?
asked by: Matthew
Expert Reply:
The Dexter DX Series # K71-651 and the Hydrastar Vented Marine # HS381-8067 are more comparable as they both have hardwire installations (just made by different manufacturers) while the Dexter BrakeRite II # T4813102 is more of a "plug-and-play" type installation.
Out of these options I highly recommend the Hydrastar Vented Marine # HS381-8067 though because I've had far less troubleshooting questions about their system. As an extra perk, this Hydrastar model has a vented end plate that does a much better job at dissipating heat than the standard Hydrastar models as well as the Dexter models; so this is more of a high-performance system.
