Question:
1. Is the HBA 16 the right Hydostar actuator to convert from my Titan 10? My boat trailer is a dual axle GVWR 8,500 lbs. 2. How do I lock out my Titan 10 surge coupler after converting to EOH? 3. What would you recommend for a replacement coupler if I cant lock it out? 4. What do I need to complete the installation for use with my 2007 Ford Expedition? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16 you were looking at is the correct Electric Over Hydraulic actuator for the disc brakes on your tandem axle boat trailer.
You can lock out your Titan Model 10 surge brake actuator by having it welded which will cause it to not allow the inertia of the trailer to activate the brackets.
Since your trailer has a bolt on coupler it would be easier to replace the coupler with a standard coupler like the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - eZ-Latch - Silver - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs # DM15000-52 which will bolt perfectly to your 3" wide tongue.
Lastly your 2007 Ford Expedition will need to have a trailer brake controller that is compatible with EOH brakes. If you do not have one then I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 which is works perfectly with EOH brakes. If your Expedition has a factory 7-way connector you will also need the plug-in adapter # 3035-P to plug in to your factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
