The lockout switch on this hydraulic actuator lets you deactivate your trailer brakes so that you can back up with ease. For use with drum brakes. Bolts onto 3" wide channel tongue.
Features:
Specs:
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.
The reverse lockout can be engaged with a simple lever on the coupler. Once the lockout has been activated, you can back up your trailer without triggering the trailer brakes. Always remember to disengage the lockout mechanism when preparing to move forward.

My trailer is a 1990 and the old coupler was welded on. Had no other option than to weld the new coupler on.
Came out great and works perfectly.
Made my own brake lockout key. See photos below
worked well as a replacement on my sailboat trailer.
I received the actuator with no manual. Contacted etrailer.com to get the manual and was told they didn't have but would contact UFP. Nothing from UFP. I contacted Dexter, who apparently bought the line from UFP. They don't have it either. I have it installed but am trying to figure out how to bleed the master cylinder. OLD instructions from UFP are NOT accurate.
well made .hitch was missing the master cylinder cover.[black cover dust cover on top of hitch.
Great product
ETrailer customer service staff were extremely helpful in helping me determine which acuator was best for my trailer. Shipping was fast and just as ordered. Packaging was good and installation was a snap. Will buy all my trailer parts from ETrailer.

Better than i could imagine. I have hauled my boat all over the valley over the last year and the least of my worries is hooking up the trailer and unhooking after a fishing trip. This coupler is flawless. The use of a surge brake lockout key is a good idea when backing up. All in all I would highly recommend this coupler.
