Expert Reply:
Yes, you can replace a weld-on surge brake actuator with a bolt-on surge brake actuator and you can weld a bolt-on surge brake actuator to the trailer. If you are handy with a welder and have one available then I prefer this method over the other as you never have to worry about a nut backing off or drilling holes into the frame.
If you can provide me with some more info on your trailer then I would be happy to recommend a surge brake actuator for you but if not I have attached our available selection. The Titan line is one of our best sellers for surge brake actuators.

I have a Trail rite triple axle with drum brakes carrying a 6750 lb (dry weight), SeaRay boat. I would like to replace the welded on actuator with a new one. Can you tell me which unit I need, can I cut the old one off with a cutoff wheel, and is welding the new one on ok. Thank you
