There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…
You should be able to use the same size clip as the inner diameter of the wire loom. For example, the 3/8" Diameter Wire Loom #39035 has grooves in it that would allow you to use a 3/8" inner diameter clamp. Same thing goes for the…
On each individual electric brake magnet the amperage draw would be 3.0 to 3.2 max amps at 12 to 13 volts on 7-inch brake magnets and 3.2 to 4.0 max amps at 12 to 13 volts on 10 and 12-inch brake magnets. The max amperage draw for the brake magnets…
The correct way to wire your breakaway battery, like the Hopkins Engager #20400, is to have the black wire from the battery connected to the 12V power on your trailer, and then the blue wire to your breakaway switch which, in turn, connects to the…
You can cut off the old spindle and have an EZ-Lube spindle welded on your current axle. I would recommend using the same size spindle, just the EZ-Lube version, as your trailer originally came with. That being said, new hub assemblies and bearings…
Hello Mike. It sounds like you are wanting to add electric brakes to your boat trailer that currently has no brakes. This is possible, but you will first need to make sure that your axle is equipped with a brake flange at the base of the spindle. The…
Hey James, Can you doublecheck the measurements of your spindle at points B, C, and D from the diagram below with a caliper #PTW80157? If the spindle is tapered the inner and outer bearings should be different. The only grease seal that matches your…
The difference between the standard and EZ hubs is in the grease cap. For instance, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the same hub, bearings, seal, and races as found in #AKHD-545-35-K but the grease cap…
Hi Nate, I got my hands on both gaskets and there are some very slight differences between the #146-18 and #166-18K, but overall they're pretty much the exact same thing. Even though the #146-18 is made of PVC it's still the same consistency…
The RV Propane Gas Detector part #RS64FR is what I recommend using to replace the the Atwood RV Propane Gas Detector part 31013 (Discontinued). The mounting plate for this new detector will cover up any holes you had for the previous so it will be a…
If you're looking for a brake mounting flange for an 8,000 pound axle, you can use the Dexter Axle Trailer Brake Mounting Flange for 3-1/2 Inch Axles, 12-1/4 Inch Brake Assemblies #4-50. This brake mounting flange has 4 mounting holes and is…
In order to use 17.5" diameter trailer wheels you'll need to upgrade to 9/16" lug studs. There are no other options as all wheels this size use this size or larger since they are designed for more weight. In order to do this you'll…
