Specs:
When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the hydraulic actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward, once your tow vehicle starts to slow down. When this happens, the actuator contracts, applying force to its master cylinder. This in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes.
Electric Reverse Lockout
The electric reverse lockout on this trailer brake actuator is automatically activated when you shift your tow vehicle into reverse. The solenoid wires into your trailer connector - which connects to your tow vehicle - so that it can detect when you are in reverse. When your vehicle is in reverse, the solenoid ensures that the hydraulic actuator does not activate your trailer's brakes, thus allowing you to back up your rig. To use the lockout feature, you must have a 5-pole flat, 6-way round, or 7-pole trailer connector.
The coupler portion of this trailer brake actuator features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator features a durable zinc coating that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This zinc coat has a 200-hour salt spray rating. Even the master cylinder is made of rustproof aluminum to further ensure durability.

Surge actuator has a rustproof aluminum master cylinder and durable zinc plating. eZ-Latch coupler mechanism makes hookup a snap. Electric lockout activates automatically to keep brakes from actuating when in reverse.
The actuator itself has been operating flawlessly but as previously documented via emails, the backup solenoid failed on the first usage (i.e., wouldn't release the brake fluid pressure when energized). I had to swap out my old solenoid and reuse it so that the actuator was fully functional. It seems that cheaper solenoids are prone to failure and are being installed on new actuators. I disassembled the failed solenoid, connected the solenoid to a 12.5 VDC power source, and found that the electromagnet wasn't strong enough to lift the valve plunger upon energizing when pressurized by brake fluid. I would suggest that the purchasing department return back to the older style, more reliable solenoids. That is why I only gave three stars on this review. 642621
Great product but FYI, it is not a direct replacement for the comparable TITAN actuator. Your brake line may be a few inches too short as mine was. Super fast shipping! 858167
The break actuator works great and install was easy , after a year on my boat trailer no problems. 849599
Experience with Etrailer was great. They sent the part that I ordered and it was not damaged which was a plus. The actuator has been working great since then. I hope to get several years of service from this actuator without any issues. Thank you Etrailer! Happy Customer: Gus Rodriguez 821596
