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.…
Not another one! Just kidding Dirk! I was in the Marines I enjoy these conversion questions on the M1101 trailers. I'd be more than happy to list the parts you need, along with quantity, and confirm compatibility. 1 - Timbren Axle-Less Trailer…

Hey Wendell! Thanks for getting back to me with all that information! I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brakes - 10" Hub/Rotor item #KOD67FR. These hubs have a corrosion-resistant Dacromet finish that stands up great in both freshwater or saltwater.…
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…
The #DM5939 is only compatible with the DA91 like the #DM8759131. Unfortunately, there is no option for manual lockout on a DA70 like the ##DM72VR. There are two ways you can keep your brakes from locking up with this brake actuator. The first is to…
