Helpful Expert Reply:
The Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator w/ Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness # HS381-9067 will provide you with the actuator for the trailer along with the breakaway system and trailer connector. If you can send me some images and information about the trailer coupler you have I can help you find a suitable replacement.
You will need a suitable brake controller like the Tekonsha # 90195 with the hydraulic actuator. The Wiring Kit # ETBC7 will provide you with the wiring needed to connect to a 4-way and wire in the brake controller.
