Expert Reply:
It looks like your 2003 Ranger 521 boat trailer has a straight tongue coupler so you should be able to use something like the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX33FR. This is a bolt on application that fits a 2" hitch ball and has a weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. The bolt holes sit down 3/4" from the top of the trailer tongue and then they are 3" apart on center.
If you have an actuator with different specs let me know what those are and I can see if we have something that works for you.
