First I want to make sure you verify your channel mount for the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14040-81 has a 21K or larger capacity as often times they are less like the Demco #DM15349-52 which often times people look at and think it is a channel mount…
Personally I prefer the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14976-52 with the composite handle over the Coupler #DM15791-81 with a metal handle. I feel it is easier to operate as it does not have the safety latch like you get on the metal handle. Since most…
All of that is not necessary. All you have to do is lock out the surge coupler so it cannot move in and out or disconnect the brake lines. By removing the old coupler you would have to remove the brake lines any way. A surge coupler can still be used…
I found a surge coupler that will work well on your trailer. However, the part that you referenced, #DM8204011, is designed only to work with drum brake systems. Disc brake systems need higher psi for the calipers to activate the brakes and drum…
Hi Conrad! That doesn't sound good, hopefully it didn't cause you too much of a problem when those bolts failed. I would be happy to help you find some upgraded parts. However, we don't have a way of knowing what is on a particular…
Dutton-Lainson does not give a separate holding capacity for their Pipe Mount Jack #DL22685. The Fulton Drop-Leg Stabilizer Jack #FSJ1-SJ2 is one of the popular options for your type of situation. Each of these have a 3,000lb capacity so with one on…
Hello Keith, Looks like you already found the equalizer you need, the Equalizer for 2" Wide Slipper Springs - 12" Long - 7/8" Center Hole #TREQ4541. You should have 2 1/4" shackles (you will want to measure to confirm, center hole…
You certainly can use the Trimax Coupler lock #TMX47FR with the Demco 2-5/16" Ez latch coupler like the #DM14040-81. The Demco coupler is 2-7/8" wide on the outside so it will undoubtedly fit with the Trimax lock, which is more or less…
Thanks for the picture Richard, I can tell by your picture you have a Model 6 surge actuator on your trailer which the #T4846500183 is the correct replacement for if you were wanting a channel style inner slide member replacement.
First you will need to remove the old hydraulic equipment. Remove the surge coupler or actuator, remove all the lines, and finally remove the brake assemblies. If you have 10 inch diameter hub and drums, you may need to replace those as well. If you…
I do have some great jack options for you and your boat but the jack does not need to be rated for the entire weight of the boat, at least directly. For example, a trailer jack rated at 2,500 lbs is more than enough for a 12,000 lb boat. The reason…
