When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows. The actuator telescopes, applying force to its master cylinder, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the trailer's brakes.

Not a fan because of the screw down and up for ball attachment. Unit Itself works great.
by: Billy04/27/2023
Bolted right on with no problem. Now to pull off the hubs and check the wheel cylinders
by: Brian04/28/2024
I absolutely hate the twist lock on it. Received this twist lock style instead of what was pictured with a flip latch. Called to speak my piece about it and was told it was all they had. Now I'm stuck with it. I hate it!
by: Hoby08/11/2018
Direct Bolt on, better than welding. Surge Brake Line connected just fine. Bled Brakes. Test drive was successful. What more could you ask for. I chose the hand tightening knob over the Lever because it was more assuring to me that it was tight on the ball and the locking mechanism has never failed. I have used Titan surge actuators for 40 years. I am using this actuator on a 4,000 lbs. boat and trailer. On my way to the lake!
by: Jeffrey04/20/2023
This is an inferior product as it has no opening to pump brake fluid for bleeding brakes like better actuators. You must use a 2X4 or other items to pump actuator. Also, better actuators have auto lock with locking pin for securing to towing ball rather than a screw down. This actuator is outdated and I replaced it with a better product.
by: Christopher 10/03/2023
Product was as ordered. Shipped promptly. Only been used two times and works fine

So far it looks like it will work. We have yet to install it.
by: Paul P05/16/2015
Bolted right onto the trailer. No instructions and the link on the web sit didn't work but what do you need for two bolts. Wouldn't have minded some guidance with bleeding the brakes but got it done anyway.
Greatly improved the towing of my boat trailer!
Good price. Shipping good. What else would you want!?

Well, it worked great till I sold the boat last October. Shocked about the follow-up! Wow
by: Alexander 04/03/2023
Excellent value, great heavy duty product, fast and easy installation, perfect fit.
Can't ask for more!
by: Rich T09/12/2019
Excellent product. This was almost an exact replacement for the original one that was on my boat trailer. I had the boat out about once a week this summer and the actuator worked perfectly. Braking was smooth and it locks down easily on the hitch ball. I highly recommend this actuator.
by: Dave C.02/12/2015
Fast delivery & looks like the right brake actuator will install later this spring boat in storage. Very good service will recommend my friends to your company. Thanks for your help David Castle

Its working great replaced my 26 year old brake actuator
by: Steven 08/05/2022
Very easy to install, I took the old unit off and had the new one installed in less than an hour. I hooked the trailer to my truck and primed the Hydraulic cylinder before I attached the brake line. No problems.
by: Steve 07/05/2021
Perfect replacement for my existing brake. I'm using this brake coupled with the Titan actuator W/reverse lockout solenoid since there is no manual lockout and I don't have free backing brakes.
by: Blake04/30/2021
This product perfectly replaced my tongue master cylinder on my 1992 Capri boat trailer. It bolted right up and the brake line thread was the same. It was super easy. It is a huge improvement!
by: Pete 10/05/2022
Seems to be what I needed to have replaced, was easy to install. Only problem, NO instructions. I did find video suggestions online.
by: Larry F10/07/2016
I cannot say enough about etrailer!! I ordered my part at a much cheaper price than I would have paid locally, it was mailed the same day and I got it three days later!! When ordering, I spoke to Shawn who was very professional and very precise in my wishes......she made me feel like a very valuable customer!! The part arrived in perfect shape and was easy to install. I would not hesitate to order from etrailer again!! Keep up the good work!!
by: Tony09/05/2022
Arrived corroded and not functioning properly. I had to disassemble and clean the rust that was on the inside of the fluid reservoir and the piston. I would have sent back but I needed it at the time. The piston was frozen. It took some time for me to figure this out.
by: Robert09/16/2022
DO NOT...I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK (I have stronger words but you get the idea) You get this piece of junk and ZERO info. I'm going to stop reviewing now before I go off the deep end!

You mentioned that the master cylinder is leaking around the cap. I suggest replacing the cap and we do have it available. It is part # T4480701 on our site.
by: JIMB04/27/2017
Just as shown online product fit perfect great to see a company that has great service and low prices. I will buy again when I need something. Brake actuator looks exactly like my old one saved a lot of time and money.

- Replacement Coupler Recommendation for 1995 Shorelander Boat TrailerYour 1995 Shoreland'r boat trailer should have no problem fitting the Titan Brake Actuator # T43397007K. This is designed to fit the standard frame channel dimensions you have of 3 inches in width so it would be a great solution. This can be bolted or welded into place.
view full answer... - Replacement 7,000 lbs Capacity Surge Brake Actuator Thanks for the pictures! The Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator item # T43397007K fits a 3" wide channel, can fit 2 inch or 1-7/8 inch hitch balls, and has a 7,000 lbs capacity. It is by far the best option to replace your old Titan Brake actuator. This actuator is a direct replacement for Titan T4339700 and 43397007K actuators.

- Recommended Surge Brake Actuator For 2000 Shorelandr Boat Trailer With Drum BrakesAs long as your 2000 Shoreland'r R1928/31 Boat Trailer has a 3" wide channel tongue I recommend the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum - Multi-Fit Ball - Bolt On - 7,000 lbs # T43397007K which will bolt on to the frame of your trailer, and will work perfectly with your drum brakes. The # T43397007K has a 7000lb trailer weight rating and works with 1-7/8", 2", and 50mm hitch balls. I included a video of the # T43397007K for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Surge Brake Actuator Replacement for my 2012 Jayco 1007I like the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator part # T43397007K and think it will do a great job for you. I would however check the brake assemblies first. It sounds as if one is hanging or the brake line is not letting the brake fluid to back out and release the pressure. In most cases when a single side is binding it is at that side. If it was the actuator I would think that it would effect both sides evenly. To test this apply pressure to the front of the actuator with a board and the...
view full answer... - What Size and Grade Bolts Should be Used to Install Titan Model 60 Brake ActuatorThe Titan brake actuator # T43397007K will take 1/2 inch by 4 inch grade 5 bolts, nuts, and lock washers. Since this is a boat trailer if you can find some grade 5 zinc coated or stainless steel they will have better corrosion resistance. I have linked a video review and the installation instructions for this actuator for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Actuator for a 1993 Four Winns 190 Horizon TrailerIf the trailer has drum brakes, the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator part # T43397007K will be the one you'll want to use. It fits a 3" wide tongue so as long as that is what you have you'll be good to go. I am not sure what you mean by quick connect fitting but the actuator is designed to accept any 3/16" male fitting. If you need an adapter, you can simply take your old brake hose end into an auto parts store and be able to then match this up to the one you need.
view full answer... - Replacement for Tie Down 70LC Drum Brake ActuatorAccording to my research, the Tie Down 70LC drum brake actuator is rated for 7,000 lbs and attaches to a 2" trailer hitch ball, and we do have a quality replacement for that from Titan: - Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T43397007K This drum-brake actuator is rated for 7,000 lbs like your Tie Down, bolts onto a 3" wide channel tongue and fits 1-7/8", 2" or 50 mm hitch balls. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Dico Model 60 Brake Actuator for Trailer Drum BrakesTo replace your Dico Model 60 surge brake actuator for your trailer's drum brakes I recommend the Titan Zinc-Plated Leverlock Brake Actuator, part # T43397007K. This is the Model 60 Brake Actuator designed for drum brake applications and has a weight capacity of 7,000 pounds. I have attached a short video demonstration on this actuator that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Should Cap Be On When Bleeding Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator for Drum BrakesThe cap should be off when bleeding the brakes when you have the Model 60 Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum # T43397007K. I have added a link to a video review of this actuator as well as a link to a video showing a demonstration of bleeding brakes.
view full answer... - Are Replacement Parts Available for a Fulton Model 50 Surge Brake ActuatorI do have an option for you but the Fulton Model 50 Surge Brake Actuator has been discontinued for quite some time now therefore replacement parts like a master cylinder are no longer available. I confirmed this with Fulton for you. The best option you have is to replace the entire actuator for which I recommend the Brake Actuator part # T43397007K as a direct replacement option.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Smoking Axle on TrailerIt sounds like this is an issue that could be related to your tire, hubs and bearings, or brakes. I'm not entirely sure where the smoke you are describing is coming from, but the tire rubbing on the frame or fender could be one possible cause. I would inspect my tire for any signs of abnormal wear. Assuming it isn't the tire then it may be a lack of grease on your bearings or the castle nut being way too tight. Either way at this point you will need to pull everything and inspect it to...
view full answer... - Replacing Atwood Weld on Actuator on Trailmaster Boat TrailerSince your coupler is welded on there won't be a way to replace it without removing the welds and then welding a new one in it's place. Since the Atwood couplers were so unique there isn't a similar one that would easily replace it either or have internal parts that could swap like a master cylinder. Using the Titan part # T43397007K that you referenced would be your best option. If the trailer is currently able to be towed you could tow it to a welder and give them the Titan to install...
view full answer... - Does a Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator Have to be Primed for UseThe brake actuator, # T43397007K, does not have to be primed. After you have replaced the parts needed and reconnected the brake lines, you will fill the reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid, leave the cap off, and proceed to bleed the brakes. I have included a link to a video that shows how to bleed the brakes manually. I have also included a link to the replacement actuator parts and a link to wheel cylinders we carry.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Hitch Ball Size for Travel TrailerStarCraft does not include their trailer coupler specs on their website, so for your 2016 StarCraft Launch 21FBS you will just need to look at the coupler to find what size ball it requires. Usually this will be stamped into the coupler's metal housing and it will sometimes also appear on a safety sticker on the coupler. Some trailers can be fitted with a multi-fit coupler that works with more than one ball size, such as # T43397007K, which fits both 1-7/8-inch and 2-inch balls. When...
view full answer... - Replacement Actuator for 1006 Pop Up with Frozen AtwoodSince the Atwood parts are all gone like you noticed you'll need to have your current actuator removed and have a new one like the Titan # T43397007K you referenced welded in place of it. I attached a picture we got from a customer that went through basically the same thing.

- Best Options for Replacing Hydraulic Drum Brake Actuator on Jayco EagleThere are a number of things you'll need to know before choosing the right brake actuator for your Jayco Eagle. Atwood MPD 85778 is actually just the literature number, so I wouldn't be able to tell you what a direct replacement would be. It's important to remember you'll need to make sure your actuator's coupler matches the size of the hitch ball on your tow vehicle, with the common size being 2 inches. As for the lockout, your brakes aren't going to require them but it's a highly desired...

I have attached a detailed demonstration video on bleeding the brakes on a trailer for you to check out. As a general summary, you will first top of the master cylinder with appropriate fluid. To pump the fluid from the master cylinder, you can unbolt the plate that holds the lever into place and then use the lever to actuate the master cylinder and force the fluid through. Next you will find the bleeder valve and open it. Take a rubber hose,...

view full answer... - What Can Replace My Atwood Weld On Coupler On My Trailmaster TrailerYour Atwood coupler is welded on to your Trailmaster trailer. Unfortunately, the only way to replace it is to remove it and replace it with a new welded on coupler. The Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum - Multi-Fit Ball - Bolt On - 7,000 lbs, part # T43397007K, will be your best option. You will have to have a welder install this on your Trailmaster trailer. I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

- Troubleshooting Hubs and Drums Heating Up on Boat TrailerA bad shock/damper and over adjusted brakes could be the cause of your problem. However, I would start off by checking to make sure that the spindle nut wasn't tightened down too tightly after replacing the bearings and seals. You should tighten the spindle nut until it is tight and then back it off one 1/4 turn. If this doesn't correct your problem, you could try backing off of the pad adjustment to see if this will help.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Actuator For Fulton A50 On 2007 EZ Loader TrailerMy contact at Fulton confirmed that the A50 series is now obsolete and they don't make replacement parts. For a replacement, I recomemend the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum - Multi-Fit Ball - Bolt On - 7K # T43397007K. This surge brake actuator will help make your 2007 EZ Loader Trailer functional again.

The solenoid is normally open so it wouldn't close on you at any point if never wired up. If you are purchasing a new coupler, I recommend simply getting one without the lockout solenoid like # T43397007K for example because it is one less...

Very good and easy to install on my 1998 boat trailer. Not a fan of the screw down coupler but thats a minor issue....
