A-60 Disc Brake Actuator With Electric Lockout For Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

I need to replace the actuator on my boat trailer. It came with a 2012 Skeeter zx21. It reads A-60/A-75 on the tongue but I cant get the numbers to match exactly to your model numbers. Can you guide me to the appropriate one? I do want the electronic disconnect.

I assume you have disc brakes since you mentioned an electric lockout, and we do have an A-60 actuator; the correct one will just depend on if you have a 3" x 5" (most likely) or 3" x 4" straight tongue:

- 3" x 5": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX56FR

- 3" x 4": Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX29FR

Hey Bruce, you'd want to make sure the tongue of your trailer is 3 inch wide to verify for sure that the Dexter actuator part #DX29FR fits. This is also designed for 2 inch hitch balls and the brake type needs to be disc.

We do have replacement hydraulic actuators for your UFP A60 boat trailer actuator: If the actuator mounts on top of the trailer frame use part #DX89FR, but if it mounts inside of the trailer frame use part #DX29FR instead. These disc brake actuators…

Len, the banging that you're describing is absolutely a common symptom of a bad shock component, so all you need to fix it is to replace it with the Replacement Shock Absorber Spring Kit for Dexter Brake Actuators #TK71-758-00.

Answer 9

I do have a recommendation as Titan no longer makes their brake actuator with the fold away tongue hinge you are looking for. You will be able to use either a 3"x4" Hinge #FHDPB340301 with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator #DX29FR. Or…

Your surge coupler will have either a sticker or an engraving on it, typically near where the coupler is located. If you can get me that information and what you're needing to replace on it I'd be more than happy to help you find what…

Answer 11

Yep! The Dexter DX7.5L #DX29FR is indeed designed to fit inside a 3" x 4" tongue as long as you have disc brakes on your trailer, though it is a bit of a different design than your old TDE LP7000. I included a video where Ryan installs it…

Hey Eric, there there would be no issue with using the Dexter Surge Actuator part #DX56FR with a trailer that has a single brake axle.
