What PSI Hydrastar Actuator is Needed for Boat Trailer Disc Brakes
Updated 06/13/2023 | Published 06/12/2023 >
Question:
I currently have a double axle boat trailer with surge disk brakes. I would like to convert to electric over hydraulic so I have brakes when backing down the ramp. How do I determine what psi actuator to get? I see Hydra star makes multiple pressures for disc brakes on their website.

Expert Reply:
For disc brakes you would want 1,600 psi like what the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067 provides. This is exact PSI that the current surge brakes of your trailer require.
