Replacement Inner Member for TDE LP8500 Actuator

Updated 08/27/2025 | Published 08/26/2025

Question:

My coupler on my 2017 fourwinns boat trailer doesn’t work correctly. I cannot get the pin to go in without a hammer. I cannot get the pin out without a hammer and punch. I am not sure if the coupler is a separate part or if I need the entire actuator. My current coupler say TDE LP 8500. I believe that Dexter took over TDE. Do you sell a replacement part for the TDE lp8500?

Hey Brian, we have a replacement inner member for the TDE LP8500 you have with the part # DX97UR. This replaces the inner portion of the actuator and allows you to leave the outer part attached so you don't have to do any welding.
