The manual lockout on your Atwood 85778 surge brake coupler is there so that you can back up the trailer without the brakes locking up on you. Yes you can safely tow your trailer with the broken manual lockout, you just have to make sure you…
Hey Clay, if the bolt pattern of your boat trailer does not match what is on the Demco actuator part #DM8104311 you have the option to redrill holes on the trailer to match the actuator or you can have the actuator welded to the trailer. I'd…
The Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator part #DM72VR should be a direct replacement for the Atwood 61101 Brake Actuator that you have now. This newest updated it rated at 7K instead of 6K. This is a bolt on option that mounts on 3" centers.…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
That's a really good question, and there is a difference between the 7,500 lb Dexter DX7.5L A-60 actuators for disc brakes; the differences are both in what they fit, as well as their length. - 14" Long & Top-Mounted For 3" Wide…
For as trashed as those brake assemblies are I am impressed with how spotless that spindle is! Based on the bearing numbers you mentioned you have a #84 spindle and the hub part #AKHD-545-35-G-K is correct. Since this its galvanized it's a really…

In order to find out what you need for a replacement actuator you will want to start by finding out what kind of brakes you have. A different brake actuator is needed if you have drum brakes or disc brakes. You will also want to choose a replacement…
Since Atwood went out of business none of their actuator (or other product) replacement parts are available unfortunately, so your only real option to having a working actuator is to replace the entire unit. I am attaching a link to our selection of…
Hey Marc, welcome back! We can definitely put together the parts you need for the disc brake kit you are looking for but we don't have anything that is a single part number like what you mentioned. So you'd need two of the part #DE68YR for…
Hey Roger, the MORryde part #MR87ZR could work for you but you would need to go with slightly shorter leaf springs at same time to compensate for the longer equalizer. Instead what would work best would be the #LC279687 which matches the dimensions…
The Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS481-8067 is designed to be completely plug-and-play so the female end of the 7-way would need to connect to the 7-way cable that's already installed on the trailer…
