The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8750311 can be used to replace your Tie Down Engineering LP8000 actuator. The Demco comes with an electric lockout like you are wanting. It is zinc coated for corrosion resistance and fits a 2-5/16" hitch ball. This actuator is made in the USA and fits 3" wide straight trailer tongues.
