Hey, Hunter.

It looks like you have a Reliable ACT-7.5K surge brake actuator. We don't carry their products and from what I can find on various forums and groups online, there aren't any replacement parts available anymore. I know this isn't news you're wanting to hear, and I'm sorry that we don't have anything that will work for you. Each manufacturer made their latches slightly different, so there isn't a way to use one from another actuator on yours.

If your latch is completely unusable, then it would be best to go ahead and replace the coupler. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 part # DX89FR would be a great option.

What kind of boat do you have?

2007 bryant 240. I contacted boatmate that made the trailer and they have replacement sleeve and actuators in stock. Due to having swing away I would have to replace the swing away sleeve and the actuator

@HunterN That's valid. We do have attachments but its not built into the coupler. But I'm glad that they still have parts on hand.
