Will 6,000 lb Surge Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes Work on Single Axle Boat Trailer
Question:
My boat weighs about 2,500lbs. It is in a single axle trailer as it is a 19 foot boat. Is 6,000 lbs actuator overkill?

The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8609101 will work great for you; the 8,000 lb tow rating and 800 lb tongue weight rating are just the maximum capacities for the actuator and you won't have an issue with your single-axle boat trailer being under that weight rating.
The Demco # DM8609101 actuator is designed for use with trailers that have drum brakes and it will fit a 2 inch hitch ball, which you'll want to also keep in mind.
