eZ-Latch Coupler
This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole through the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a second pin hole through the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through either hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.

Heavy duty and perfect for the 3”x5” boat trailer. Paired with a Fulton swing arm and it turned out perfect for my Nitro boat and the space issue I have.

I called this company after having bad luck with another provider. Jesse was quick to help me find what I needed and sent me videos so I could see what I was buying. Fast shipping and arrived in great condition. The heck with folks you can’t talk to. Or have to work a puzzle to get to a person. Thanks again.

First of I must say the customer service at etrailer was superb! It also arrived in two days. As for the coupler it was easy to install and I really like the quick couple feature on the Demco coupler. Have not pulled the trailer yet but it look like a well built quality hitch.

Although I just received the trailer tongue. It can easily be seen its a quality hitch. Heavy Gauge Steel. The locking mechanism is interesting as you don't need to open the latch to drop your trailer on the ball. I'm excited to install it on my boat trailer.

This trailer coupler is extremely stout for a 2" ball. It fit perfectly. The mounting holes lined up properly and in a matter of a few minutes my trailer was ready to be towed. Very please with this product for its quality and price.

Looks and feels solid. Ensure that you measure as these come manufactured a bit longer than most.

Ask the Experts about this Demco Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler
- Does Demco Coupler part # 12564 Come with Install BoltsThe Demco Trailer Coupler part # 12564 that you referenced does not come with mounting bolts. You would need to supply them. A local hardware store would have no problem getting you setup with nuts and bolts. The hole diameters are 1/2 inch.
view full answer... - Dimensions and Mounting Hole Spacing of Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 12564Yes, the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 12564 that you referenced does accept a 2-inch hitch ball and mounts to a 3-inch-wide trailer tongue. It's mounting hole spacing is indeed 3-inches and it offers a 10,000-lb weight capacity. You'll need to re-use or replace your installation hardware as this is not included with this zinc-plated coupler.

- Distance from the Top of Coupler to Center of Mounting Holes on Demco Trailer Coupler 12564I spoke with my contact over at Demco about coupler # 12564. From the top (outside) of the coupler above the mounting holes down to the center of the mounting holes measures 1.029". What brand is the coupler you have now because the 1 inch dimension is the most common for 2 inch ball couplers that fit a 3 inch wide tongue.

- Center Ball to End of Coupler Dimension of Demco 12564As shown in the provided photo, the approximate distance from the centerline of the trailer ball to the end of the coupler is 12 inches. The Demco # 12564 accepts a 2 inch trailer ball.

- Recommended Coupler for Boat Trailer With 3" Wide ChannelThe coupler I recommend for your boat trailer is the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 12564, which fits a 3" wide channel tongue, has a 10,000 lb capacity and uses the eZ-Latch system to fit a 2" hitch ball. This will allow you to hook up the latch simply by dropping the coupler over the hitch ball. I've added a link to a video review of this coupler for you to check out.
view full answer... - What kind of Bolts Do I Need for the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler?The hole diameters for the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 12564 are 1/2 inch. It is recommended to use grade 8 hardware to attach the coupler to your trailer frame. You can find these bolts at a local hardware store as they do not come supplied with the kit because of varying sizes of trailer frames.
view full answer... - Comparing Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler 12564 and DM12717The only difference between the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # 12564 and Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # DM12717 is the bolt pattern which is just slightly different with one having an extra hole.

- Recommended Electric Over Hydraulic Braking System For Venture Boat Trailer With Surge Brake SystemYes, you can remove your current Surge Brake Actuator and install a standard coupler like the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 12564 and install the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 to provide faster and safer braking for your Venture boat trailer. The Titan BrakeRite will require you to install a brake controller to operate. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 as it was designed...
view full answer... - Bolt Patterns of Bolt-On Trailer Couplers for 3-Inch Trailer TonguesThe linked page displays all 2-inch ball couplers that bolt on to a 3-inch trailer tongue. Some do use the same 3-inch hole spacing, such as Titan # T4845000 and the Fulton # F223000301, but other hole patterns are included on some couplers, such as the Demco # 12564 which uses three holes.
view full answer... - Best Coupler Lock for Demco Channel Tongue CouplerMy best recommendation is the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98887. This lock fits into either one of the two pin holes of your coupler # 12564. This locks your latch into place so one can't disconnect it from your tow vehicle. It also works when your trailer is stored unhitched since thieves can't hitch your trailer to their vehicle with this lock in the way. Another popular lock for trailer storage is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip Couplers # e98893. This completely...
view full answer... - Trailer Coupler For Boat Trailer With 3 Inch Galvanized TongueWe do have an option for you, though the straight tongue trailer couplers that fit 3" tongues only fit either a 2" or 1-7/8" ball, but not both. If that's okay, the best option is a coupler from Demco: - Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - eZ-Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs # 12564 This coupler accepts a 2" ball and will bolt onto your boat trailer's 3" straight tongue.

view full answer... - Replacement Coupler or 2 Inch Ball Coupler Repair Kit for Boat TrailerThe Coupler Repair Kit for 2" Curt Couplers # C25194 is not a universal fit for all couplers. It may or may not work with your trailer coupler. I've linked the page to all our repair kit options, but if you don't know your coupler, then we can't confirm a fit. You may want to replace the entire coupler with the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Zinc - 2" Ball - 3" Channel # 12564 or the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Trigger Latch - Zinc # CT-3003-Z. Both of these are simple...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Coupler for Lightweight Boat TrailerAs long as the tongue on your boat trailer does not exceed 3" wide, I recommend using the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # 12564. This coupler fits a 2" hitch ball, has a 10,000 lb weight capacity, and comes with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. It has an eZ-Latch mechanism which means you do not have to open the latch to couple the trailer. It is also made right here in the U.S.A. If you would like to protect the trailer from theft, I recommend using a lock like part...
view full answer... - Can Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator Work With EOH ActuatorSince there isn't an easy way to lock out the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator 8605001, you would not be able to use it with the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes # K71-650 Both a hydraulic coupler and EOH system are unable to both be used together, so the braking function would go to the Dexter actuator. Since the hydraulic actuator is bolted on, it will be a simple replacement with a standard coupler, the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler...
