Replacement Actuator for 1997 Four Winns Boat Trailer
Updated 06/15/2020 | Published 06/11/2020 >
Question:
I have a 1997 Four Winns, double axle, drum brake boat trailer. The actuator must be either rebuilt or replaced. As far as I can tell with my internet searches, the original Atwood actuator seems to be discontinued as are parts...I could be wrong. I get the feeling that replacement might be the best way to go but, I need guidance on getting the proper unit.

Expert Reply:
I have some great replacement brake actuator options but that is the route you'll need to go as Atwood has been out of business for quite awhile so replacement parts are almost non existent. The best replacement option we offer is the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator part # DM72VR which is designed for a 3" tongue.
I have attached a full list of options below as well.
