Why It's Better

The Only EOH Actuator That Works With Every Controller

Instant Response

12V DC pump fires the moment your brake controller sends a signal. No surge delay.

No CAM Needed

The only EOH actuator universally compatible with every brake controller. No adapter modules.

Saltwater Sealed

Stainless hardware, EPDM gaskets, and vented backing plate. Built for submersion at the boat ramp.

Reverse Without Lockout

Electric control means brakes stay disengaged when backing up. No lockout pin needed.

Common Questions

Before You Buy

Do I need a CAM (Controller Adapter Module)?+

No. The GEN 8 works with all factory and aftermarket brake controllers without any adapter. This is the only EOH actuator on the market with universal compatibility.

Can I submerge it at the boat ramp?+

Yes. The marine actuator is sealed for submersion during launch and retrieval.

Is the buzzing noise normal?+

Yes. That’s the pump building and holding pressure. Completely normal.

How do I bleed the system?+

Start at the furthest caliper. Open the bleeder, pump DOT 3 through until no air bubbles. Work toward the actuator. Two full passes.

What fluid does it use?+

DOT 3 or DOT 4. Do not use DOT 5 — silicone fluid will damage the seals.
