• Recommended Trailer Coupler With Breakaway Kit Replacement
  I spoke with my contact at Fulton and they told me that the A50 coupler was for a surge brake 5,000 lb system and is no longer available. They said the parts for that are no longer available either. The coupler you will need depends on the kind of brakes you have on your trailer, either disc or drum. If you install a disc brake coupler on a trailer with drum brakes, you run the risk of having the brakes locking up. If you have disc brakes I recommend part # 099-175-20. This coupler...

• Recommended Replacement for Model 70LP Surge Brake Actuator
  While we don't have replacement parts for a Model 70LP actuator, we do have a great replacement for it. Like the 70LP, these actuators are a fit for a 2" hitch ball, but they just have a slightly larger capacity at 7,500 lbs. You didn't mention whether you had drum or disc brakes so I'll give the options for both: - Drum Brakes: Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator - Drum Brakes # 099-175-00 - Disc Brakes: Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator - Disc Brakes # 099-175-20 I've added links...

• Difference Between Hydraulic Brake Coupler with Lockout and Without Lockout
  What a lockout on a hydraulic brake coupler does is prevent the brakes from applying when you back the trailer. An electric lock out is tied into the reverse lamp circuit on the vehicle so that when the vehicle is shifted into reverse the solenoid in the coupler is activated which prevents the trailer brakes from applying. If your boat trailer had free-backing brakes, you won't need a lockout because after being pushed a foot or so the brake assemblies disengage. For a 7500 lb hydraulic...

• Converting Trailer with Adjustable Ball Titan Model 60 Actuator to Alternative Style
  Since there isn't a way to convert your adjustable ball style of Titan Model 60 actuator to a leverlock style you'll need to remove the entire coupler and install the Dexter Drop-N-Go part # 099-175-20 if you have disc brakes or part # 099-175-00 if you have drum instead. This is the upgraded replacement for the Titan Leverlock. Dexter bought Titan and this is the new style I think you'll really like.

• Replacement 7,000 lb Surge Brake Actuator for Drum or Disc Brakes
  We definitely have surge brake actuators that can work, but the ones we carry are mounted on top of your trailer's channel tongue and you will need to drill new holes in order to mount them. Additionally, please note that these actuators are each designed to fit 3" wide channel tongues, so to ensure the proper fit you are going to want to measure your trailer tongue. Dexter actuators are premium quality which is why I highly recommend them, and the correct 7,000 lb actuator that works...

• 2005 Ranger Trail Boat Trailer Replacement Hydraulic Brake Coupler
  Was there any manufacturer info on the existing coupler? Any part numbers? Unfortunately, there isn't an existing database that allows me to look up which hydraulic coupler was originally used on your 2005 Ranger Trail boat trailer. This being said, the Dexter Axle DX7.5 Drop-N-Go actuator would work well if you have a 3 inch wide pole tongue and need a coupler compatible with a 2 inch ball. For disc brakes, use the # 099-175-20, or # 099-175-00 for drum brakes.

• Replacement Solution for Atwood 82542 Actuator on Boat Trailer
  Atwood stopped making actuators a while back which is why you aren't able to find a replacement or any replacement parts. So for a solution to replace what you have the Dexter DX7.5 part # 099-175-00 would be a great solution if you have drum brakes or the part # 099-175-20 for disc brakes. I really like how easy the coupler of these actuators work as basically you can just drop them onto the ball and they latch themselves.

• Replacement For TDE-LP750 Trailer Actuator
  We can get you a good replacement, though there is actually no longer a TDE brand. But that actuator is simply a bolt-on, 7,500 lb actuator that couples to a 2" hitch ball, and per the owner's manual does not have a lockout (so it is for free-backing brakes). The replacement you can use is from Dexter, and the right one will depend on if you have drum brakes or disc brakes: - Drum: Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator # 099-175-00 - Disc: Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator # 099-175-20

• Dico Surge Brake Actuator that Looks like Model 60 Replacement
  The best solution we have is going to be a new surge coupler like the # 099-175-00. Some of the Dico and Titan parts are interchangeable in recent years but since your trailer is almost 30 years old it's tough to say what all would still work. Plus you have to consider it's hard to know what all would need to be replaced so replacing the entire coupler gives you all new parts and frees you from having to worry about the next old part on the coupler that may wear out.

• Do the Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuators Work with Disc and Drum Brakes and How Many Axles

• Troubleshooting EZ Loadr Boat Trailer Brake Issues
  It sounds like the fact your brakes are locking and releasing is what will cause the bounce and porpoising you are describing. It sounds to me like your surge brake actuator is sticking and then releasing and then doing so again and again as you slow down. This could be from a shock like the Replacement Shock Absorber for Titan Model 60 Brake Actuators # T2336200 not working correctly, a wheel cylinder/brake caliper issue if that is only happening on one side, or a master cylinder issue...
