Does Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR Have an Electric Lock Out
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 06/24/2025
Question:
I have a 2002 Trail-rite boat trailer with bolt-on UFP [now part of Dexter of course] A-60 surge brake actuator, with disc brakes. The trailer tongue is either 3 x 3 or 3x4 I dont have it now to look at it. I am looking at replacing the actuator I think a Dexter DX29FR is the correct one. The description of the DX29FR says electric lock-out, but the pictures show the manual lock-out key. Is it both, or either, electric and manual?

Hey Randy, the Dexter Actuator part # DX29FR does come with an electric lock out solenoid but it's hard to see in the pictures as its' under the main channel of the actuator. If you check out the attached picture you can see the blue wires that run to it. It does also come with the manual lock out key as well like you noticed.
This would be a good choice to replace your A-60 as well.

Hey Randy, how did the installation of the Dexter actuator go for your boat trailer? I'm asking because your experience could help others looking to replace their surge brake actuator.
