Question:

Please send me directions for bleeding the brakes on my atwood surge brake trailer coupler with drum brakes on a dual axle boat trailer. Also any instructions on install for the weld on application would be helpful thanks

We happen to have a video on the proper procedure for bleeding trailer brakes and I have attached it for.

As for the Titan Brake Actuator, part # T63FR, this was designed for bolt-on installation. In the event that you would ever have to access the innards, a bolt-on application makes this much easier.

If you should still choose to weld the actuator to the trailer tongue, I recommend welding along the
entire length of the actuator where it touches the trailer frame. I have included a snapshot of Atwood's welding instructions as well as a link to the complete installation instructions for you.
