In order to convert the hydraulic disc brakes on your trailer to electric, you will need a electric over hydraulic (EOH) actuator and a breakaway kit. The HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes part # HS381-8067 is an excellent actuator and will work well with your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Electronic Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195.

For a breakaway kit I recommend taking a look at the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger part # 20099. The built-in charger automatically charges the battery while the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle and the easy to use push-to-test battery features ensures you are never left wondering if the battery is charged.

I have attached a review video of the breakaway kit and actuator for you as well.

The HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator w/ Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness part # HS381-9067 includes everything listed above but a bit more to help you finish the job such as a 7-way trailer connector, 7-pole junction box, 6' split wire loom, 4 mounting pads, and wiring connectors. If you don't already have a 7-way on your trailer then this is what I recommend.
