Video Transcript for Demco Trailer Brakes 18788 Review
Today were looking at the Demco galvanized marine brake assembly part number 18788. This particular assembly is for the left hand side, we can tell this by looking at the shoe lining. The lining in the forward shoe is smaller than the lining on the rear shoe or primary. This means we have the left hand side. Couple this with the right hand side and it will create 3500 pounds in braking capacity. This is a single servo setup so we have one wheel cylinder and one piston that well push out against our shoe to create our pressure needed to create braking.
This particular setup is a 10 inch by 2 and . And how we find that measurement is by measuring across the lining to get our 10 inches and then measuring the show width to find out 2 and . When braking in reverse, this setup should create 25 percent braking in reverse. For installation its setup for a 4 bolt flange. You can see the bolts are predrilled to setup for your axle.
Then youll need to make a manual adjustment with the star wheel to push the brake linings out against the brake hub drum assembly. You want a light drag on your initial setup, then as the brake linings wear down, youll need to use the star wheel again to adjust the brake linings out but this can be down through the access hole here in the backing plate. And there you have it for our Demco galvanized 10 inch marine brake assembly, part number 18788.

Like the assembly being galvanized to last longer and already assembled. Being labeled for left and right is a nice added touch, but not necessary with single piston cylinders. I added a flush kit to my trailer and had to drill a hole through the plate to add, not a problem. 432696

When I realized my brakes were in need of repair and no local shop worked on trailer brakes I decided to do it myself. With the help of the etrailer folks I had a new set of brakes and was ready for another fishing season. Great products, they do what they say and great customer support. 333472

These worked great. Much easier to replace the whole assembly like this, than replacing all of the original rusted out components. These are galvanized, so they should last a long time. I'm using these for a boat trailer for a 21 foot fiberglass euro styled V8 powered pleasure boat that weighs about 3000 pounds. 313288

"great product low price" quote is valid. bolted right up. Note: I have a boat, and the only thing missing on the backing plate is the half inch hole for my water flush out that was on my old ones, had to drill one next to the flange mount. I packed a little extra grease in the calipers too. 41921

Review from a similar Demco Demco Galv Single Servo 10 Inch in Accessories and Parts
The product was first quality. It was packaged very well. Easy to install and yes, I wished I had ordered new bolts and nuts. Mine were a little bit rusty being on a boat. The only differences I noticed were that my old wheel cylinder was made of aluminum and this one was made of steel. Steel will rust but it will probably last longer. 135126

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?
- I Want to Replace All of the Surge Brake Equipment on a 2002 Performance Boat Trailer
- The surge brake equipment of your trailer consists of the brake lines, drum brakes and the brake actuator. To ensure I recommend the correct parts for your trailer I will need a little more information.
A brake line kit is pretty universal. For a single axle trailer, I recommend using part # T4829900. This kit comes with all of the lines and fittings you will need to replace everything from the actuator to the brake assemblies.
For an actuator, I would need to know what type of...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Installation of a Brake Mounting Flange on a Trailer Spindle and Axle
- Welding a mounting flange, possible item # 4-35, is a very precise installation. The flanges need to be installed square and concentric to the hub and drum assembly and each other. If the flange is installed incorrectly rapid brake lining wear, improper braking, trailer dog legging, bearing failure, rapid tire wear and, worst of all, weakening of the axle can occur.
Usually special jigs are used to install the flange. The jig will keep the flange square and concentric to the axle and...
view full answer... - How To Check if Trailer Surge Brakes Are Working Properly On Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
- Checking the brakes can be done in two ways. The easiest way is to raise one side of the trailer and spin the wheels while someone applies the surge brakes at the coupler. The better way would be to remove each of the wheels and brake drums and activate the brakes while making sure the wheel cylinders and brake assemblies are functioning properly.
After this the first thing I would do is bleed the brakes using the trailers surge coupler to force the fluid from the brake lines and make...
view full answer... - Drum and Hub Kit, Wheel, and Brake Assembly Recommendation for a 2009 Starcraft 2106
- I did some research and found that all of the hub and drum assemblies that would fit on your spindle would be 10 inches in diameter, and I also found that if you have a 10 drum you have to have at least a 13 inch rim, so you would need to upgrade to bigger wheels and tires also.
The Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly, part # 84546UC3-EZ, that you referenced is the correct hub and drum assembly.
For brake assemblies I would recommend a Galvanized 10 inch Marine Brake Assembly, part # 18788,...
view full answer... - Boat Trailer Brake Assembly Recommendation for a 3500 UFP Axles
- Yes, the Demco Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly # 18787 would be the correct assembly for the right hand side of your trailer and the part # 18788 would be the correct assembly for the left hand side of the trailer.
If your current brake assemblies only have a 1-3/4 inch width they are not fully utilizing the 2-1/2 inches of drum width that you measured. The bolt pattern of the flange is also the same as what you have. Check out the picture I attached to see these measurements.
These...
view full answer... - Will Demco Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly Fit Trailer Axle with 10 inch Hub/Drums
- As long as you match up the bolt pattern of the brake assembly you have to the mounting flange of your trailer they will bolt right up. This is typically very easy since nearly all axles use the same 4 and 5 bolt mounting flanges.
If your mounting flange has a 4 bolt pattern the part # 18788 that you referenced would bolt right up.
