Hey Larry! To find a replacement brake actuator for your 2018 Ranger boat trailer I will need to know if you have drum/disc brakes and the coupler size. I'm assuming you have a 3" wide trailer tongue but it wouldn't hurt to check that as well.
For example, if you need a 2" coupler for a 2" ball and drum brakes the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR is a great option. If you have disc brakes then you can use the Demco # DM62VR instead. It would also be good to know if you need a lockout or not. The disc brake actuator comes with an electric lockout. The drum brake version does not but you can add one using # DM5836 if you need it.
If neither of these works for you feel free to add additional information about your setup in the comments below and I'll help you find what you need.
