Does Hydrastar HS381-8065 EOH Actuator Have Enough Pressure for Tandem Boat Trailer

Question:

How do you which unit pressure you need! I have a boat trailer with two axles and drum surge brakes carrying a 24 foot boat, Which unit do i use 1000 psi or 1200 psi? Thanks for any and all help.

For your tandem axle drum-brake-equipped boat trailer you can use either a 1000- or 1200-lb rated electric-over-hydraulic actuator like the HydraStar # HS381-8065. In cases where the trailer is really long, then larger diameter brake lines may be required. But for your application with a tandem trailer for a 24-foot boat you will be fine with this EOH actuator.
