Parts Needed to Convert Brakes to Hydraulic Over Electric
Question:
My boat trailer currently has 10 x 2-1/4 hydro brakes. What would I need to convert them to hydro over electric?
asked by: Mark
Expert Reply:
To make the conversion, you'd need an electric over hydraulic brake actuator, the specific one depending on if you have disc or drum brakes. You'd want to use the HydraStar # HBA-12 for drum brakes or HydraStar # HBA16 for disc brakes.
The other component you'd need is a brake controller compatible with the actuator, such as the Prodigy P2 # 90885.
I've added links to video reviews of each of these products for you to take a look at.
