Video Transcript for Feature Review Optronics 7-Way Trailer Harness Plug Protector

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with each etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics 7 Pole Plug Protector.Over time, we are going to get a decent amount of dust and grime getting on the inside of our 7 pole. And that's going to not really get us the best connection, and we might see some shortages and something like that on our trailer. As you guys can see here, we've got a winch, a big battery, solar panel, and there's a couple of lights back there, too. Everything needs power, and this is how we get the power. So to be able to actually protect our plug, so we can not have to replace it so often, is definitely going to be a plus.

It's just going to slip right in here. Very, very simple and easy. So this is going to fit all your 7 pole connectors. It also has like a little tab here.So it's going to stay nice and tight and all we're really going to have to do to take it out is just kind of fold that back and wiggle it out. And then we can go ahead and plug it in.

But don't be worried if it's not going to fit your guys's, it is a very, very basic shape and it's going to fit quite nicely.It is going to be made of a pretty tough plastic. So it isn't going to fade or anything over time and it's not going to get any rock chips or anything like that. One thing to note, we are going to have dimensions with this product and it's going to be about three and three sixteenth inches wide. We're going to have about two and fifteen sixteenth inches tall, and it's going to be about two and a fourth inches thick.It really isn't too difficult to mount this up. There's a lot of different ways you guys can do it, put it wherever you want.

We are going to supply our own hardware. But what we're going to do here is just go ahead and show you guys how we installed it on our trailer today.So the first thing we want to do is to find the ideal spot to place the holder. So I have my 7 pole here. I think it's going to be best, especially when this is fold up. I think I'm just going to go ahead and put it down here somewhere and obviously make sure that our connection's going to fit and it does.

So that's good. So once we find out where we're going to put it, I found it best to go ahead and mark it with the drill bit.You guys can also achieve this by just getting like a paint marker or something like that. So what we're going to do is mark them all and we are going to have to supply our own hardware. So once we get these drilled out, we're going to grab whatever hardware we want to mount it up and we'll get going.Now we can go ahead and start mounting up our cover. Line it back up. And I'm actually just using some self-tappers. And with the drill, the hole drilled, it's going to make it a little bit easier to get them in there, but you guys can use whatever hardware is best for your guys's trailer.Once we have everything all mounted up, now we can just go ahead and slide our 7 pole into the little protector here.And that's basically it for our look at the Optronics 7 Pole Protector.
