I will be able to help you with the parts you need based on your axle capacity. Your axles are rated at 3,200 lbs. You will need the following items for your surge brakes.
You have a hydraulic brake actuator. If you are using a 2" ball with your boat trailer, you can replace your existing actuator with the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 8,000 lbs, part # DM8609101. While it is rated for 8,000 lbs, if your trailer is only rated for 4,000 lbs, you must adhere to the lower weight limit.
You have hydraulic drum brakes, You can replace your existing drum brakes with the Demco Hydraulic Brake Kit - Duo-Servo - Galvanized - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K, part # DMSB18794M-93M. These are 10", 4 bolt brakes. I recommend the galvanized brake because it will resist rust and corrosion. You will also need the mounting bolts, part # BRKH10A.
I have included product description links and a video review link below.
