Replacement Coupler Latch for 30 Year Old Boat Trailer

Updated 06/25/2025 | Published 06/20/2025

Question:

Hello. I have an older unsure...maybe 30 years? sailboat trailer that needs a coupler latch. I believe it has a 10,000 pound coupler difficult to read the engraving. I have been unsuccessful finding a replacement. Can I send you guys a couple of photos to help determine if you can provide what I need? Thanks.

Hi Roland; you can reply to the email that brought you to this page with your pictures. Based on the age a repair kit probably isn't available but I can certainly check and see. More than likely you will need a new coupler like the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 which fits a 3" channel and uses a 2" ball.
