Have a 97 Maxum boat and trailer with drum brakes. I recently started fixing up the rust spots on it and discovered that the master cyl for the old setup is full of crud and empty of any brake fluid. So I bought a new Demco 8605001 Brake Actuator on Amazon. I am now contemplating changing the setup to disc brakes.
I found this actuator UFP A-60 1-Axle Hydraulic Disc Brake Actuator Inner Slide, 7,500 lb at around $190, or this one a little cheaper Tow Zone 86852 Model 800 Disc Brake Actuator, plus the disc brakes setup which the cheapest I found is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - E-Coat - 3,500 lbs at $188. My boat is a 20' Maxum 2050NL. I think it's 3500LBS. Wanted to know f I need the solenoid valve for lockouts. My old setup had none(didn't really have any brakes from the crud inside). Want to know what I need to do this right and hopefully not too expensive. Thanks in advance.
