1600psi Hydrastar Hydraulic Electric Brake Actuator
1600psi Hydrastar hydraulic electric brake actuator generation 7 suits boat tandem trailers from 3200kg to 4500kg.
How to Select the Correct Actuator
- 1000 PSI Actuators are suitable for trailers under 2000kg (Couplemate does not sell this model)
- 1200 PSI Actuators are ideal for trailers UP TO 3200kg
- 1600 PSI Actuators are suitable for trailers UP TO 4500kg
The brake controller controls the maximum hydraulic pressure applied to the brakes.
The Hydrastar actuator pump requires a 12-volt DC Tekonsha P2 or P3 hard-wired controller. Check with your brake controller supplier for suitability.
The Tekonsha iPrimus is not suitable when used with hydrastar controllers.
An electric over-hydraulic actuator requires an electric brake controller to send a signal to work a hydraulic pump actuator. Hydraulic brakes are used on boat trailers weighing over 2000kg.
Question: What type of hydraulic braking system suits the Hydrastar Actuator
Answer: The Hydrastar Actuator is ideal for controlling the following disc braking systems.
- Independent Coil Suspension Kit – Hydraulic
- 50mm Square Hydraulic Disc Brake Axle
- 60mm Round 2t – 3t Hydraulic Disc Braked Axle
- 3t Hydraulic Disc Braked Axle
Also, consider your disc pads to improve braking efficiency.
Why do I need this type of brake controller?
The Law requires trailers over 2t to install a breakaway kit on their trailer or caravan.
Couplemate has good stocks of this product and ships from Brisbane.

Couplemate recommends the use of a stainless braided SAE hydraulic hose. Bundy tube or steel tube can become damaged and, as a result, restrict the flow of brake fluid.
SAE stands for Standard American Equipment, which has passed tests according to American Standards.
The braided hose is flexible and poly-coated for a long life. Copper tube olive ends with short brass locking nuts.
Equipment like Alko and Trojan disc calipers requires an olive adaptor nut with a copper washer to seal hydraulic connections properly.
Further, the manufacturer guarantees Hydrastar 1200 and 1600 psi for two years. However, water ingress from fresh or salt water is not covered.
Finally, a stainless braided hydraulic hose is an excellent investment for connecting the Hydrastar brake actuator to the hydraulic calipers.
