Can a Surge Brake Actuator be Installed on a Swing Away Trailer Tongue?

Question

Question:

We ordered the T4747220 to replace the LP8000 actuator on a Nitro boat trailer we are working on but it wont work on this trailer. The trailer has a swingaway tongue. Does that make a difference for what actuator is needed?

As long as a flexible line is used from the back of the actuator to the point where a T fitting will split the lines to the brakes, there will be no issue using the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout - Disc # T4747220 with a swing away tongue.

For a brake actuator that will fit your 3-1/2" tongue you will need a weld-on model. None of the bolt-on will fit a 3-1/2" tongue as you said. I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60XL #DX43FR if you have disc brakes or the Dexter DX7.5L A-60…

Hey Larry! If your DA66B is the drum brake model the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator #DM72VR is the direct replacement. Since you were asking about the Hydraulic Brake Kit #AKFBBRK-7-D as well I'll assume that is correct. The brake mounting…

I wasn't able to reference this part number but we do carry a few wall mount switches for MaxxAir Vent Fans, the part #MA59FR and part #MA00A03550K. If yours look like either of these two options then they will work great for you but they are the…

Hi Jim, the honest answer is that there isn’t a direct replacement or rebuild kit still available for the TDE LP8000, so the right path forward is to replace the entire actuator, which typically means cutting the old one off and installing a new…

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…
