• How to Wire Titan # T4748800 Reverse Lock-Out Solenoid Valve
  The Titan Replacement Reverse Lockout Solenoid you mentioned is extremely easy to wire. The solenoid has two wires exiting it. One wire grounds to the trailer tongue, the other would connect to the reverse light circuit on the tow vehicle. Once wired, the solenoid will close when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse, preventing the trailer brakes from applying when the trailer is backed. Since it sounds like both your vehicle and trailer have a 4-pole connector, you'll need to install...

• Do I Need To Install A Brake Controller To Activate Or Deactivate Surge Trailer Brakes In Reverse?
  Great question. Let me cover brake activation first. If you wish to have active braking on a hydraulic system when backing up, you would need to have Electric over Hydraulic brakes and not a surge brake coupler. Surge brake couplers do not allow active braking when in reverse. To add the electric over hydraulic system, it will require a brake controller like # 39523 and an electric over hydraulic brake actuator like the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc...

• Is a Reverse Electric Lockout Needed on a Boat Trailer with Titan Model 60 Actuator
  The issue is that with the way a surge coupler works when backing up, normally up hill, the trailer is pushing the other way which will cause the actuator to compress in sending fluid back to engage the brakes. This makes it very difficult or impossible sometimes to back the trailer up. There are 2 kinds of lock outs to prevent this, a manual which is built into an actuator and prevents the coupler from pushing in, and there is the electric type. It will energize when the vehicle is...

• Using Front Hitch To Move Trailer With Hydraulic Surge Brakes
  If you have a manual lockout, you will be able to use that and navigate with your front hitch without any wiring. If you have an electric lockout, you will need to supply 12 volts to that solenoid to release the brakes. I'd suggest getting a matching connector for your trailer like # PK11893 or # HM47900 and hardwiring the reverse wire directly to your battery and run a ground wire to the negative battery terminal from the connector. This will allow you to have that single function to...

• Does Drum Brake Master Cylinder Need to be Replaced with Atwood Master Cylinder for Disc Brakes
  I spoke with the Titan, who confirmed that the master cylinder # T4820000 is indeed the correct replacement when switching from drum to disc brakes. Because hydraulic disc brakes operate at a higher pressure (1,500 psi) than drum brakes (1,000 psi), the master cylinder used for your current drum brakes won't deliver the required pressure to effectively actuate disc brakes. If your current Titan Model 60 doesn't have the electric lock-out feature that defeats the brakes when the vehicle's...
