Trailer Brake Controller that is Compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic Braking Systems
Question:
I am converting M103a1 trailer from air/hydrol to elec/hydrol. I have a Draw-tite I-stop IQ controller installed. Need to know what Actuator is compatible with it. Thank You.

There are only certain brake controllers that are compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems. The Draw-Tite controller is not one of them but we do have several options that are electric over hydraulic compatible. Using one of them you could use any actuator you wanted.
I know converting to electric over hydraulic brakes can be expensive so to save some money the most affordable controller that is compatible is the Hayes Engage, # HA81760. This is a time-delayed controller so it sends back a pre-determined amount of power to the trailer brakes no matter what the braking situation is. I prefer the P2, # 90885, because it will brake proportionally to how much the tow vehicle is braking. I have linked all of the controllers that are electric over hydraulic compatible for you to view.
When looking at actuators there are some specifically for drum brakes and others specifically for disc brakes. Make sure you select a model that is appropriate for the brakes on the trailer. I have linked the actuators for you as well.
