Option For Replacing Swing-Away Actuator On A 2005 Mastercraft Boat Trailer

Question:

I have a 2005 mastercraft x10 boat with a mastercraft trailer. The surge brake needs to be replaced. It also has the actuator on the back of the surge brake. What do I need to replace the surge brake. I am struggling to find a surge brake that will fit into the current swing away.

We do have a potential solution for you. Unfortunately, the swing away actuators like the one on your 2005 Mastercraft trailer have been discontinued, so I am afraid there is no direct replacement, or anything that will fit inside the current swing away.

At this point we would have to recommend replacing the tongue of the trailer entirely, all the way down to the swing away. For a replacement option I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR. This has a 7,500 lb trailer capacity, is designed for trailers with disc brakes, and is designed to be bolted on to a 3" wide tongue.

For a replacement swing away adapter we have the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB340301 which fits a 3" x 4" tongue. The swing away adapters are available in different sizes if needed.

I have attached an installation video below for your reference.
