- The grey (GS) has been marked no longer available, unfortunately, but the black (BS) is available and is the exact same thing as the grey version.
If you're interested, the Furrion Marine Power Inlet - 30Amp - 125V - LED - Square # F30ITSBS is what you'll want.
This has the same 30A 125V ratings as the grey version, as well as the same dimensions of 4-7/16" tall x 3-1/2" wide x 3-7/8" deep.

- For your application we have the Furrion Marine Power Cord Adapter - 50A 125/250V Female to 30A Male # FP5530SY which you can then pair with the Furrion Marine Power Cord Extension 30A # F30C25SY. There aren't any other direct adapters that use the twist lock on both ends that I'm aware of.
Please note that the 30A will be the limiting factor as well so you'll want to avoid trying to pull larger amounts of power if at all possible.

- You will want to use a marine battery in addition to the Hopkins Engager # 20400 because you want a dedicated battery for your breakaway brake function. If your marine battery was depleted and the pin pulled for the breakaway system then this means your trailer brakes won't activate.
The ProMar1 DS Digital charges a battery when plugged into AC power (like a standard wall outlet) so you will need something different to charge while in transit. For that I recommend the Redarc In-Vehicle...

- You can upgrade your setup from a 30 amp to a 50 amp but it's going to be pricey and you're likely going to need to hire an electrician.
The first thing you're going to need is to swap out your 30 amp inlet with the SmartPlug RV and Marine Power Inlet # SM79FR. This is going to require you to replace the existing wiring as well to accommodate for the extra amps.
You'll also need a new control center, Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution...

- Most battery chargers that you'd be looking at are all AC to DC power, so you can't use them off a car battery. A way around this would be to install something like the Redarc Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC- 12 Amp # RED96FR, which will allow you to trickle charge your auxiliary battery through your car battery. I really like the BCDC since it gives you the ability to integrate a solar panel like part # 34273836 so you've got 2 different sources to charge...

- We do have an option to monitor the battery power level, but this will just have the one function, unfortunately.
With that being said, the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380 will have the standard green (good), yellow (needs to be charged), and red (dead battery) and actually has the CTEK Comfort Connect port so you can connect something like the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance # CTEK56353 as a charger if needed.

view full answer... - Can Smaller Gauge Wire be Used When Connecting 2 Trailer Batteries Together
- You could maybe get by with 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 (which is good for up to 30 Amps) but I definitely don't recommend going any smaller than that. It is better to use the thicker gauge wire when connecting 2 batteries because there will be a lot of "traffic" (for lack of a better term) on those wires constantly so you want something that can handle that much power and won't overheat.
We have wiring kits with higher-gauge wiring but for shorter distances as if the batteries were right next...

- To add two reverse lights, one on each side of the rear of the utility trailer, I recommend the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, # BUL72CB. You will also need a rubber grommet, # a70gb, for each light, and a pigtail, # A45CB, for each light. To mount the lights, you can use Mounting Bracket # BK70BB.
You would then need to wire the lights to come on with the tow vehicle reverse lights. You would need to convert the tow vehicle and trailer from 4-Way to...

- So long as your 2003 Crownline currently has hydraulic disc brakes, you can absolutely add the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067.
It will do a great job of giving you the stopping power needed so your boat doesn't get pulled down the ramp, and since you have surge brakes and brake lines already, there's only a couple of other things you'll need, starting with a breakaway kit, the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with...

- I may have a solution for you, but there's not going to be a wiring harness that can be used that will provide you with the power you're going to need to pull from the battery to power the winch.
Your best bet might be to create some sort of quick disconnect for each of the batteries that you can either hook up when needed, or leave attached to the vehicles. This would require cutting off the battery clamp ends of your winch and putting quick disconnects like the Dutton-Lainson Electrical...

- You won't need to replace your trailer's drums or brakes unless they need replacing anyway. You can keep drum brakes with an electric over hydraulic system.
What you will need is an EOH actuator, a breakaway kit, and an electric brake controller.
On a 6,500 pound boat trailer I recommend the HydraStar Marine EOH Actuator # HS381-9065. It's for trailers up to 7,000 pounds and is designed specifically for boat trailers. It also includes wiring and mounting hardware for the install....

- In order to install a brake controller on a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe you will need to hardwire it in. There are 3 things you will need: a 4-Way wiring harness, a # ETBC7, and a brake controller.
If the Santa Fe does not already have a 4-Way you will need to add one using # 118415. If it does have a 4-Way you can skip to the next step.
