Question:

I need to replace my ACT 7.5 surge brake Actuator on an 08 Mastercraft trailer. It has disc brakes. I couldnt find the one discussed on your website Titan 7,500 lb Swing-Away Actuator w/ Electric Lockout # T4839100 Could you point me in the right direction. Thanks

For a replacement I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX29FR. The Titan you're referring to was discontinued several years ago, and there are no other swing-away options available.

The # DX29FR has a 7,500 lb trailer capacity and is designed for trailers with disc brakes. You will also need a replacement swing away tongue adapter like the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 4" Tongue # FHDPB340301 which fits 3" x 4" diameter tongues.

I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
