A-60 Disc Brake Actuator With Electric Lockout For Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

I need to replace the actuator on my boat trailer. It came with a 2012 Skeeter zx21. It reads A-60/A-75 on the tongue but I cant get the numbers to match exactly to your model numbers. Can you guide me to the appropriate one? I do want the electronic disconnect.

I assume you have disc brakes since you mentioned an electric lockout, and we do have an A-60 actuator; the correct one will just depend on if you have a 3" x 5" (most likely) or 3" x 4" straight tongue:

- 3" x 5": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX56FR

- 3" x 4": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX29FR
