    Surge brakes lasted 1200 miles of highway, whats wrong

    Alpha 1 gen 1 steering actuator replace with gen 2

    Agree with Bondo, don't need to upgrade to the quick attach fittings, threaded works fine. They were added to make it faster for dealers with little to no leak. Correct me if I'm wrong Bondo, But the Gen 2 steering actuator should bolt right up. I think the transom plate is basically the same
