• Restoring Brakes On A 1990s Boat Trailer
  Hello Doug, thanks for reaching out. You will need to replace the current coupler with a surge brake actuator. For that I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator like part # DM72VR which is for drum brakes, a 2" ball and bolts to a 3" tongue. It has mounting holes 3" apart on center. Please confirm that these specs match your trailer. You can run the brake lines thru the tongue, you just need to make sure and use a flexible line in the fold-away section. If you need all new brake...

• Flexible Brake Line For Fold Away Coupler Hinge Kit
  I recommend Titan 25 inch Hydraulic Brake line part # T0980100 to use with the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge kit. The 25 inches is LIKELY long enough because the line attaches to the back of the actuator at the master cylinder and gives you enough slack to not put stress on the rest of the brake lines when the coupler is folded in. Its always better to have a little bit of slack in the brake line when installing the folding tongue for that reason. If you need a longer line, I recommend...

• Flexible Brake Line for a Trailer with a Folding Tongue Coupler
  The Titan brake line # T0980100 is 25 inches long and should work for you since you are adding the reverse electric lock out. You will want the flexible line to be long enough to not bind or put stress on the rest of the brake lines when the coupler is folded in. It will need to go from the back of the master cylinder, or in this case back of the lockout solenoid, past the hinge.

• Parts Needed to Switch a Trailer From Surge Brakes To Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
  First you are going to need either a Drum # DH54FR or Disc # DH94FR brake actuator depending on what type of brakes you have. Also be sure to check with the local laws where you live as many states are now requiring all trailer axles to have brakes if over a certain weight. If this is the case I would need to know what axles/brakes you currently have. You will also need a Breakaway Kit # 3802311, Junction Box # 3430001-JBK, and 7-Way # H20046. You may also need a Flexible Brake Line #...

• Troubleshooting Sticking Trailer Surge Brakes
  As long as your Titan model 60 surge brake actuator is rated for disc brakes and is in good working order it should have not problem activating 4 sets of brake assemblies. If your brakes are sticking all of a sudden after having an additional set of brakes installed I would take the trailer back to the shop that did the work and have them go over their installation to see what they possibly messed up. Normally sticking surge brakes are the result of worn out actuator components, so it...

• Tongue Size on Fulton Fold-Away Trailer Coupler Hinge Kit, Part # FHDPB350101
  The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit, part # FHDPB350101, is intended for use on steel (but not aluminum) boat trailers that have a tongue size of 3 x 5 inches. Yes, this is the internal dimension of the two coupler halves. When installed the two halves of your trailer tongue will each slide into one half of the coupler. I contacted Shorelandr and confirmed that your steel trailer PT2440T has a 3 x 5 tongue (about 78 inches in length); this will mate properly with the Fulton coupler....

  Hello Vince, It sounds like are running into a similar situation as I did with my 2004 Ranger trailer about 3 weeks. I got home from a day of fishing at Lake of the Ozarks and went out to the garage the next day to find a whole lot of brake fluid on the ground. Not a great surprise. Yes, you can just order the inner member of the surge brake actuator and slide it right into your fold-away tongue. I attached a picture of mine so you can see exactly what I’m talking about.

  I spoke with my contact at Titan and he informed me that this Titan Brake Line Tee, part # T0778500, has an inverted flare seat at the base of the fitting, and it is designed for use with a flared brake line or hose. He also informed me that the thread size and pitch is 3/8 inch x 24 national fine thread, and you would need a male fitting of that size to match the orifices. The Titan Hydraulic Brake Line with Fittings, part # T0980100, has these same thread dimensions.

• Brake Lines for Hydraulic Brakes on a Slide Axle Trailer
  What I would do is run regular steel brake line back to the mid point of where the axle can travel like you have said. Then from there use the flexible hose long enough to reach when the axle is in the most forward or most rearward position and long enough for the travel of the suspension. We do not have a kit with all flexible hose but a local auto parts store should have all of the parts needed to fabricate something up. The longest flexible hose we have is # T0980100 at 25 inches.

• Does Brake Line Have to be Cut When Adding Coupler Hinge Kit
  The flexible line part # T0980100 is designed to thread directly into the back of a surge brake actuator. Instead of cutting your current hard brake line you would want to coil the metal line to move the fitting back so that you can use the flex line there. There are some simple little pipe benders that you can get at a hardware store that will allow you to bend steel lines without kinking them. You can usually do it by hand by carefully bending the line around something like a soda...
