This surge actuator lets your trailer's drum brakes work without wiring or a brake controller, so nothing electrical sits in the water. That makes it ideal for boat trailers. And when it does get wet, the zinc plating helps keep it from rusting.
This Demco DA75 actuator is built for life around water. Its zinc plated body resists corrosion, and the master cylinder uses a diaphragm cap and a bellows boot on the push rod to keep moisture out. A raised fill plate helps block contaminants when you remove the cap, and tie loops on the cap let you tether it for a tamper proof seal. Available in zinc, black, or primed finishes.
The EZ Latch coupler drops onto a 2" hitch ball and clicks shut on its own, even if the latch is already closed. You don't need to hold the handle while you work the jack or line up the ball. That keeps fingers out of the pinch zone and makes it faster to hook up by yourself. After it clicks, give it a firm tug to confirm the catch, then add a coupler lock (sold separately) to help deter theft while you're away.
The color coded decal on the emergency lever shows red when the breakaway is engaged and green when it's released, so you can spot a tripped system before you tow. Bear in mind, this isn't a parking brake. If you're on a slope, use wheel chocks and your truck's parking brake to keep your trailer from rolling.
Inside the actuator, a spring-loaded push rod controls line pressure while an integrated dampener reduces impact shock. That gives you more predictable braking even when your load shifts or weight fluctuates.

I received the actuator but can not find installation instructions in the box or on line. I think I am smart enough to get the old actuator off and the new one installed but it would be nice to have an instruction manual. It seems strange that you would send instructions to install the manual lock out kit but not the actuator itself.
