Hey Alex, the Demco DA75 Trailer Brake Actuator - Zinc - Drum - 3" x 2.5" # DM28CV generates about 1,000–1,200 psi, which is standard for drum brake systems. It’s a smooth, responsive unit that pairs well with most hydraulic drum assemblies on utility and boat trailers.
The actuator has a built-in master cylinder, so all you'll need to do is make sure your brake lines and drum brakes are in good shape.
