Deka Wiring 12-2-1 Review Video

Traditionally, trailer manufacturers did not use electric brakes on boat trailers because the brake magnet wiring and trailer wiring did not always have the best insulation or water protection. These days, more and more manufacturers are using…

Hello Steven. The mounting studs that come with the #AKEBRK-35L-SA technically are removable. You would probably have to knock them out with a hammer or a rubber mallet if you want to remove them. These will bolt up to a standard 4 bolt brake…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more…

You are super close to having the brakes functional on your trailer. Run the blue wire from the brake output pin to either one of the wires that are coming off of the brake assemblies and then ground the other and you'll be done. Brake…

Since Demco uses 3,500 drum brake assemblies part #DMSB24429M and #DMSB24428M what you'd need is similar 3,500 electric brake assemblies like the etrailer part #AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left hand side and #AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand side.…

Yes, you can use a 7-way for only the 2 circuits if that is all that is required. The 7-Pole Round Connector #H20044 has a 12 gauge blue wire that is the output for the brakes. The 10 gauge white wire is the ground wire for the 7-way connector. It…

It's a wire color difference but not a function difference on the pins of the 7-way. The difference comes from the fact that the two different styles are representative of two different areas that uses trailers. Traditional is usually seen…

The best trailer tire we have to replace your ST180/80D13 would be the Kenda ST185/80R13 part #AM10208 which has the highest weight capacity of 1,710 lb and the highest speed rating of 81 mph. It's also a radial and has an automotive style tread…

If your trailer has 7 wires running all the way back to the brakes, then yes, you can tap into the existing wiring. Each of your new brakes will have two wires for the brake magnet. One wire is for 12 volt power to the brake magnets and the other…

The Fusion LED Combination Tail Light Bar #STL264RCB appears to be the closest light we have to your current red stick light. This has the same clear lens with red LED's. It is 20-1/2" long versus the 17" light you have. We do have a…

The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part #AKHD-545-35-K is the correct replacement for an AL-KO 7230. In regards to the braking assemblies, I suggest getting a new pair, the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part #AKEBRK-35-SA. This option will save you some…

I would check the magnets for wear before going on to test them with a meter. If the magnets show abnormal wear or if you can see the windings beginning to show through the friction surface of the magnet then they will need to be replaced. To further…
