On the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler #DM13203-95 the three top row mounting holes' centers are 1-inch from the top flat surface of the coupler. I went to our warehouse and took this measurement to confirm. This and other dimensions are…
Unless your trailer has dually wheels then you would need to look at just the single tire capacity. On dually wheels the weight isn't exactly always distributed evenly so the lower capacity compensates for that so that no one single tire in the…
The most similar size to a 175/80-13 in a 14-inch diameter wheel size will be a 205/75-14 which will be right at 2 inches taller in diameter. For a wheel and tire in that size I would recommend the Provider part #TTWA14RWS. This has a white spoke…
To add an additional battery in your 2002 Chevy Silverado I recommend adding the Redarc Smart Start Isolator #331-SBI12D in-line between the truck's start battery and the auxiliary battery. This will transfer power in either direction to maintain…
A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…
The key for selecting a replacement grease seal is the reference number, in this case #10-9. The manufacturer code does not matter. This is a single-lip seal with an inner diameter of 1.500-inches and an outer diameter of 1.987-inches. It is…
The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles #AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K and the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case #CE13515 fit the same spindle, have the same bolt pattern, and are galvanized so yes, essentially the only things that…
To verify the correct bearing kit for your 2006 Snowbear utility trailer you will need to measure your spindle diameter. The Bearing Kit #BK1-100 fits a straight spindle that is 1" diameter on the bearing surface. We also have the Bearing Kit…
The spindle nut that holds on a trailer hub needs to be just tight enough that it seats the bearings and everything is held in place but not tight enough to create friction and heat like you are experiencing. When our installers replace a trailer…
Assuming that when you tested the resistance of the brakes you were testing the two wires on each magnet and getting 2.0 and 2.8 ohms the magnets on your trailer are not working correctly and will need to be replaced. For 7" brakes you should…

Outfit your setup with gear that makes docking easier, from buoyant floats to steps and storage. Floats mount with basic 3/8" lag screws and washers using built-in slots, and they can be painted with marine-grade paint, though longevity depends on conditions. Add sturdy dock steps—with an optional handrail and built-in storage—and secure a dock box with a puck lock that hides the shackle for deterrence.
Yes, they can be painted, but longevity depends on paint type and conditions. Use a good quality marine grade paint for best results. Even then there is no guarantee the paint will not peel over time. Prep and cure times help the paint adhere and last longer.
Match step height to your platform: a 2-step is 17" tall and a triple step is 25-1/2" tall. Capacity is 300 lbs. An accessory hand rail is sturdy and adds confidence. If you notice non slip getting loose or curling at the edges, re-secure or replace the tread to keep footing dependable.
Start by estimating the total weight of your dock and gear, then match it to the listed lifting capacity of each float. Some floats support 450 lbs and others 600 lbs, so use the capacity shown for the size you choose and space them evenly. Lay out floats to balance the load across the frame to avoid low spots.
Boxes can sit on the dock as-is; supply your own hardware if you want to mount them. A puck-style lock with a hidden shackle helps deter tampering. Look over the lid and panels for any holes and seal as needed. Interior storage fits cleaning supplies and a hose, and construction stands up to weather.
Use 3/8" diameter lag screws and washers per the manufacturer. Some installs call for 3/8" x 3" lag screws with 3/8" and 5/8" washers. Stainless steel is recommended to ensure corrosion resistance; galvanized hardware is also recommended. Drill holes in the boards and use the mounting slots on the floats. Check for any taper in mounting locations and adjust as needed.
