Hi John,
The Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T2477600 would be a compatible replacement for the Dico Model 10 surge brake actuator. What is the axle capacity for your boat trailer? If you don't know then you'll need to measure the drum assembly to so that we can determine the right capacity brake assemblies.
