Question:
I am looking for a new coupler for my trailer. I switching from surge to electric brakes so I just needs a standard coupler. The channel is 3in wide and the trailer with boat weights around 5400lbs

Expert Reply:
The coupler I recommend for your boat trailer is the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 12564, which fits a 3" wide channel tongue, has a 10,000 lb capacity and uses the eZ-Latch system to fit a 2" hitch ball. This will allow you to hook up the latch simply by dropping the coupler over the hitch ball.
I've added a link to a video review of this coupler for you to check out.
