  • 2023 Ford F-350 Having Issues With Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
  • It is not uncommon for certain factory brake controllers to have issues with electric over hydraulic brakes. This would be the first we have heard of this issue with a 2023 Ford F-350, but it is possible that the brake controller in your ford is simply not compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes. There may be an adapter module available depending on what brand of actuator you have on your trailer so that is one option. If you can tell me the make and model of your actuator I can...

  • Adding EOH Brakes To A 2007 Mastercraft Boat Trailer With Surge brakes
  • Hello Erik, it certainly is possible to convert your trailer from surge brakes over to electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) brakes. Basically, all you will need to add is an EOH disc brake actuator # HBA16 and a wiring kit # HS381-9000. The wiring kit contains everything you need to install and wire in the actuator, including a junction box for your connections. You will simply attach the brake line from your surge coupler to the Hydrastar actuator. As long as the current surge actuator is still...

  • Option For Replacing Swing-Away Actuator On A 2005 Mastercraft Boat Trailer
  • We do have a potential solution for you. Unfortunately, the swing away actuators like the one on your 2005 Mastercraft trailer have been discontinued, so I am afraid there is no direct replacement, or anything that will fit inside the current swing away. At this point we would have to recommend replacing the tongue of the trailer entirely, all the way down to the swing away. For a replacement option I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR. This has...

  • Parts Needed to Power Electric Brakes on Triple Towed Motorcycle Trailer
  • You will need a little more than just the adapter but that is off to a good start. The Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 will connect to the 5th wheel 4-way so the signal power will carry over to the 7-way connector. However, you will still need to run wire to connect to the brake output circuit. Voltage drop is a definitely a concern so I recommend replacing the brake output wire on your entire setup with 6 gauge wire. So you will be replacing it starting at the brake controller...

  • Recommended Hubs And Brakes For A Lippert 7,000 lb Axle
  • Hello Chad. The Lippert 7,000 lb axles use standard sizing for all the bearings, hubs and brakes making them all pretty simple to replace. For a hub assembly I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum for 5.2K to 7K Axles # AKHD-865-7-G-EZ-K. This is a galvanized steel hub with a 12" drum and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, all of which are standard for the 7K axles. This hub comes with bearings, seals, races, lug nuts and a grease cap. For your brake assemblies I recommend the TruRyde...

  • Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies for 5,200 lb AL-KO Axle
  • The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6 will likely fit your 5,200 lb AL-KO axle. These are 12" x 2" with a 5 bolt brake flange mounting pattern. I recommend checking your brake flange just to be sure. If you have the older 4 bolt AL-KO pattern and not the standard 5 bolt then you need the # 23-105-106-09 instead.

  • Can Snow Chains Be Used On a Trailer As Well?
  • It sounds like you are wanting to also run tire chains on a trailer you are pulling. This is a good idea as the chains can help prevent the tires from sliding on the trailer. This will help prevent it from sliding side to side and also help with braking should you have trailer brakes. The Konig # TH01594225 are a great option as they are self tensioning and have the diamond pattern which gives more lateral traction. These fit the most common 205/75-14 tire size for trailers.
