Great question, Hannah, and welcome to the world of boating and trailering!
Since the Demco Disc Brake Actuator # DM33CV does have an electric lockout, you'll be all set. It just has a solenoid with 2 wires that get wired up to a reverse circuit from the vehicle. This powers the solenoid and blocks the brake lines from engaging the brakes so you can back up.
Let me know if you need any more help with it!
