Replacement Surge Brake Actuator, Brake Lines & Calipers For 2005 Mastercraft Pro V 205 Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2005 Mastercraft Pro V 205 boat trailer with a swing away surge brake actuator. I would like to replace the actuator with a weld-on one, with 7.5K weight rating, disc brake capable, and an electric reverse lock out. The OEM actuator is welded to the front swing away bracket, which is 5 in height. Could you recommend an actuator. Also, I will need both rear calipers and all associated brake hoses/lines, as they will need to be replaced. Thank you

I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX93FR for your 2005 Mastercraft Pro V 205 boat trailer. This weld-on disc brake actuator is for a 3" wide by 5" tall frame, and includes a electric reverse lockout. It latches to a 2" hitch ball and comes primed so you will be able to weld it onto your frame and paint to match the trailers frame.

I do see that your boat can be fitted to a single axle trailer or tandem axle depending on your setup will decide what brake lines you will need. We have a Single Axle Brake Line Kit # 18SI-BLKIT and Tandem Axle Brake Line Kit # 18TA-BLKIT that both have flexible brake lines for your swing away tongue and an 18' main line from the actuator to the tee for the axle.

You will need to verify what brake calipers you currently have to ensure they fit your mounting bracket. The Kodiak 225 is the most common and you will find this stamped in the back side of the caliper. If this is what you have I recommend using the Stainless Steel Caliper # KDBC225S to prevent corrosion of the caliper on your boat trailer. If you are unsure please send me images or the number stamped on your caliper so I can confirm the correct replacements.

Hey Stephen, this is a great question but I don't have a great answer. Both of our part numbers #DX69FR and #DX43FR represent the same exact Dexter DX7.5L A-60XL Surge Brake Actuator. I am not sure why we have two part numbers for the same thing…

Sounds like you are trying to install the wrong brake line to the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper #KDBC225S that you mentioned. The fitting size needs to be 3/16 inch like what comes with the #18TA-BLKIT. Since I don't know what brake lines you have…

First you will need to pull one of your hubs to verify the spindle size you have on your 1989 Spartan boat trailer. It likely has 3,500lb axles based on the weight of your 1993 BayLiner 2609 Rendezvous. To verify you will need a Digital Caliper…
