I did some research and found that your boat is 18-ft 9-inches long. You did not say if your trailer has brakes included which will make a difference when installing the wiring.

If you do not have brakes on the trailer and you only need wiring for the lights I recommend part # A35W42B. This is a 35-ft long harness and it has a 4-way flat trailer connector included. This is a wishbone harness that means the running light is split at the connector and the brown running light wire is run along with each turn signal wire. This is the easiest way to run the wiring.

If your trailer has brakes I recommend using the jacketed 7-way wiring, part # DW04914-1. This is sold by the foot so you will need to know how much wiring you need to complete the job. Since this is jacketed wire it is protected but you will need to decide how you want to secure the wire to the frame as you are installing it.

You can use clamps like part # A0500 and the Self Drilling Hex Screw, part # 101131802. Or you can use frame clamps like part # 464600 if your trailer has an I-beam frame.

For the 7-way wiring I also recommend using a junction box like part # 38656. For the 7-way trailer connector you can use part # A10-7W6.

I have attached a link to a helpful article that explains trailer wiring you can check out.

Normally the SAE number isn't a reliable way to pick out replacement lenses, but we know that the #A32RB is the correct replacement for a lens marked SAE-A-P2-DOT-02 like what you have. For an all new assembly you'd want the part #MC32RB.

We do not have a way to balance and mount wheels, like the Aluminum Sendel Series T07 Black Machined Trailer Wheel - 14" x 5-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 #AM25DR, and tires before shipping. You would have to take them to a local tire shop. They do…

The best wheels for saltwater are going to be aluminum wheels because they do not rust. I would not recommend using a steel wheel like the #AM20315 you were looking at. It might hold up if you meticulously rinsed it with fresh water and made sure to…

Your 4-pin/5-wire wiring harness is what is called a "wishbone" type which simply means that there are two separate running light wires, one brown and one pink. This allows a separate running light wire for each side of the trailer which…

Typically 4-way wiring consists of 18 and 16 gauge wires. For a 4-way that has all 16 gauge wire you would want the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector #W787264. The part #HM38138 uses 18 gauge for all wires but the white that uses 16 gauge.

It could be a tow package fuse on the vehicle. Use the owners manual to find the locations of fuses/relays related to the tow package wiring to check them and replace as needed. If the issue is not a fuse or relay then you can test the vehicle side…

Answer 11

Most trailer wiring that runs to trailer lights is 16 gauge. I would rather people use 14 or 12 unless the lights are LED which draw considerably less. But for most people 16 gauge works just fine for basic trailer lighting. If you are planning on…

Answer 12

Did you have a 4-pin connector that had 5 wires or was it a 5-pin connector? There is a big difference since you normally see a 5-pin connector on a boat trailer with the 5th pin used for an electric reverse lockout solenoid on a brake actuating…
