The zinc-plated exterior on this actuator holds up well in wet or salty conditions, so it’s a smart choice for boat or utility trailers that see a lot of weather. Inside, the aluminum master cylinder resists rust and pitting better than cast steel, keeping the braking system smooth and reliable over time.
Hooking up is straightforward thanks to the over-center latch mechanism that only engages when it’s fully seated on the 2" hitch ball. The low-profile coupler design gives a clean connection without extra fuss, making it easier to hitch and unhitch in tight spots.
With a 7,500-lb capacity, this surge-style actuator automatically syncs your trailer’s brakes with the tow vehicle’s deceleration. As your trailer moves forward during braking, the actuator telescopes and applies pressure through the hydraulic drum system. It gives steady, proportional braking without needing electronic control boxes.
The bolt-on design fits standard 3" channel tongues, so setup goes quickly with no need for welding or major modification. It’s a dependable option for replacing older actuators or putting together a fresh trailer build where bolt-on hardware is preferred.
Whether you’re maintaining a boat trailer, outfitting a farm or construction rig, or upgrading a travel or utility trailer, this unit handles the job with straightforward dependability. Its hydraulic design and corrosion resistance make it a practical match for many everyday towing setups.

Just what I needed. The surge brakes work great.
Great service, even though i purchased the wrong one at 1st
Parts were shipped fast and received in good condition. Haven’t installed as of yet
I ordered this surge brake hitch without the back up solenoid. Due to supply chain problems it was going to take 3 months to ship. Upon receiving it far ahead of schedule it had the solenoid included at no extra charge meaning that someone at etrailer expedited my order and kept me happy at etrailers expense. How can you top that for service?
Great shipping. Very fast. Part worked perfectly to replace actuator on our bass boat trailer.
I’m very satisfied. I always check out etrailer for all my trailer needs and this time was no different. In under 2 hours by myself I changed out the old with the new ( pictures) and ready to bleed the brakes. I always let people know to contact etrailer with there needs. Thanks
Personal service was great.
Shipping was very quick, received it a couple days after I ordered it.
