Just got the used boat and trailer this last weekend. The guy before me had locked out the surge brakes. Well the master cylinder is a mass of rust inside. I expect that I will need a new one along with the reverse lockout solenoid. The big question is - can I get the parts? UFP closed before I could get to them. picture of trailer tongue.
To the men & women in uniform:
Definitely call Lyn tomorrow at UFP. It's worth waiting
I already talked to him....it's a Dico actuator...good lookin unit isn't it?...lol
I have had 3 phone conversations (Lyn, Waymires, Matteson Marine) stating that the actuator may have to be cut off and and a new unit put on. I took it in to a Richfield Trailer supply and the Titan model 60 looks to be an exact swap. They have the boat & trailer and will attemp the swap of the guts & moving parts of the actuator. The main housing obviously will stay (if they are successfull). Lets think positive on this and stay hopeful! I just want to get my new (older & first ever) boat in the water! I even haven't christened it yet!!

I think I would of tried the boat out a couple of times before I messed with the trailer brakes.Just take your time getting to the boat ramp and don't be tailgating! I guess I've just got that "screw it, I wanna go fishing" mentallity.

The local trailer guy ended up swapping the guts between the new and old actuators. Things seem to be working fine now. Thanks for all inputs.
