Expert Reply:
The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX56FR is designed to fit inside the tongue of a trailer, yes, but aside from that it doesn't look like it's a direct replacement for the one that came on your Ranger Boat Trailer.
As long as you have a 3" x 5" straight tongue and your boat trailer isn't rated for more than 7,500 lbs this should work just fine as a replacement for you.
