Brake Line Kit Recommendation for Sailboat Trailer with Single Axle

Question

Question:

Hi there I just received and installed a Demco hydraulic actuator for my single axle sailboat trailer. Id like to replace the brake line from it to the drum brakes. What would you recommend? Replace all lines or just the feed from the actuator? Id need the appropriate thread sizing 3/16? and line. Thanks,

I would recommend just replacing everything with one of our kits like the # DM5426. This will fit your Demco actuator and will come with everything needed. If one of the lines is in need of replacing chances are the others will soon follow.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
