The Load Rite by Dexter Disc Brake Actuator is a Tie Down Engineering surge actuator rated to 6,600 lb, fitting a 2 inch hitch ball.
Six thousand six hundred pounds is the middle of the range, suiting a single-axle trailer with a substantial boat or a light tandem axle rig. Actuator capacity should meet or exceed the loaded trailer weight rather than the boat weight alone, since fuel, gear and the trailer itself all count.
Surge actuation brakes the trailer from its own forward push against the coupler, so nothing needs wiring to the tow vehicle. It is built for disc brakes, which need higher line pressure than drums, so a drum actuator will not do the same job. Explore more trailer brakes and actuators.
