Using the USPS saves money but you are never ever going to receive your parts when they say you will upon entry into their system. If you need fast pay for FEDEX or UPS. As far as customer service and parts quality a big thumbs up. Etrailer usually has exactly what you need. Next upgrade SST Hubs/rotors on braking axle.

Best customer service ever!!!!!
Was trying to get boat ready for a trip to the coast and found that the original brake pad backing had deteriorated due to saltwater. I also found I had two wheel seals leaking. Got on etrailer.com and found the parts I needed with ease. I ordered everything I needed and had them overnighted at 4:36pm on a Tuesday. Customer service called 30 minutes later to apologize and said that my order was placed after the orders for the day had been sent out. They promised they would do everything they could but it would probably be the next day before they could send them out and I might not get them until Thursday. I completely understood and was not upset. Well, the next morning (Wednesday) by 10am my parts were sitting on my porch!!!! Not sure how they made it happen but thank you to whoever did.
The parts were top notch and the stainless steel backing brake pads and stainless lug nuts were just why I needed!
Top notch and will never buy trailer parts from anywhere else. Thank you and now I’m going fishing a day early!
Boats in the water thanks to etrailer!

So far so good, I just installed these even though I ordered them a year ago. Can't wait to see how the Stainless Steel holds up on my boat trailer, the ones I took off were in terrible shape even though there was a lot of pad left. Great stopping power, I turned down my brake controller after I installed these.

These brakes are excellent! And so is the service/technical support provided by George J of etrailer and others. This was the first time I ever replaced trailer brakes and I also bled the brake system for the first time. Everything went very smooth. I live in Florida and all of use of the trailer is in salt water. The brakes have held up very well.

The stainless steel rotors and stainless steel brake pads were delivered on time and in good condition. Installation went smoothly and the brakes are working well. The trailer will be dunked in saltwater regularly so stainless steel should not rust like the previous pads. The old pads still had plenty of wear left but they rusted and the pads separated from the backing plate. The outside pads fell completely out of the caliper. If given the opportunity will provide an update after some use.

If you need replacement Kodiak brake pads for your trailer, and you launch in salt water, the pads with the stainless backing plates are the only way to go. I had the pads break free from plain steel backing plates, and damage my rotors. Not worth it.
Brakes pads shipped promptly. The fact they were priced competitively and shipping was very reasonable is a bonus. etrailer rocks.

I'm glad I got the Stainless Steel versions for my 8K lb travel trailer...after 5 years and 10K+ miles, there was not a speck of rust on these pads or the Stainless brake cylinder / pad carriers. Actually, the pads were less than 50% used but I decided to replace them as I can't afford a failure or downtime on the road. A little cleaning of the guides and some silicone grease and the guides / carriers were like brand new.

I ordered the ceramic brake pads with ss backing plate. I have the Kodiak ss calipers and ss rotors on my boat trailer. There was no rust on the old pads or any of the Kodiak equipment even though I fish saltwater frequently. I expect the new pads to perform as well. They arrived on time and were delivered to my mailbox.

- Replacement Brake Pad and Rotor for Kodiak Stainless Steel 10" Disc Brake KitHey Tommy, thanks for reaching out! We do have some replacement parts for the 10" Stainless Steel Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35S: - Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate # K225CPSS - Kodiak 10" Stainless Steel Rotor # KR10S Were you needing the pads or the rotor?
view full answer... - How to Find Replacement Brake Pads for TrailerIt sounds like you are needing replacement brake pads for the disc brakes on your trailer. In order to find compatible replacements, you will first need to locate the brand name of your existing parts. Brake pads are brand specific and they will also be rated for certain calipers. For example, the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads # K225CPSS are for calipers that are rated for 3,500 pounds to 6,000 pounds. I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of brake pads for...
view full answer... - What Is The Best Way To Tell If Trailer Brake Pads Need To Be Replaced?Hey Larry, welcome back, and good question. A visual inspection is definitely the best way to tell if your brake pads need to be replaced. If the pads are wearing down, you may notice squealing, grinding, or reduced braking performance. Those can be indicators of worn down brake pads, but those could be signs that something else is wrong also. Those Kodiak 225 brake pads do have a wear indicator mark on the side. Once that groove is nearly gone, it's time to replace the pads. I recommend...
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Pads for 2005 Airstream ClassicIn order to determine which brake pads you need for your 2005 Airstream Classic you will need to find the disc brake brand as well as your axle capacity. For example, if you have Kodiak disc brakes with 3,500-6,000 lb axles you can use the # K225CPSS. If you have 7,000-8,000 lb axles you can use the # K250CP-SS. For Dexter brakes you can use the # K225CP if you have a 3,500 lb axle. For 6,000-8,000 lb axles you would need the # K71-629. If you have a different brand or capacity you will...

The correct replacement brake pads for the Kodiak disc brakes with caliper stamped 225 we have 2 different options for you, both are ceramic brake pads but the backing plates are different: For standard back plate: Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K225CP For stainless steel back plate: Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K225CPSS The stainless steel option is excellent for marine applications, or it you...
view full answer... - Replacement Rotors and Brake Pads For EZ Loader Boat Trailer With Kodiak 3,500LB Disc BrakesSince you have a Kodiak Disc brake caliper on your EZ Loader boat trailer you will want to replace it with the Kodiak Integrated Rotor # KHR10D. This rotor is 10" in diameter while the Dexter # K08-435-05 you found is only 9-3/4" in diameter. The difference in diameter would lead to wear issues on the pads. It is best to install new Pads # K225CPSS when you change your rotors so the pads can bed in properly on the new rotor.
view full answer... - Recommended Spare Parts To Replace UFP Hubs With Rotors And CalipersWe don't have the UFP Brand, but I can give you some compatible parts. For your trailer hubs with rotor, I recommend the Kodiak 10" Hub-and-Rotor Assembly - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs # KHR10D. You will need grease seal # RG06-050 along with bearing # L68149 and # L44649. For your brakes, I recommend the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K225CPSS along with the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Stainless Steel - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs...
view full answer... - Recommended Disc Brake Kit for Airstream Tandem Axle TrailerTo convert to disc brakes, you will need to check the bearings on your current hubs. If you pull the hub you should find on the inner and outer bearing a number printed on each. Those numbers will help to confirm the fit on your spindle. If you can't find this number, then you can measure the spindle with a digital caliper like # PTW80157 where the bearings would rest on the spindle. I've attached a photo to assist. For 6 stud hubs with rotor, I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit...

- Replacement Disc Brake Pads for 2008 Triton Boat TrailerThe disc brake calipers on your 2008 Triton Boat Trailer are not typically the Titan style. If you have the factory calipers then you will want the Kodiak style pads. If you have 3,500 lb to 6,000 lb axles, then use the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K225CPSS. If you have 7,000 to 8,000 lb axles, use the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads - 7,000 lbs to 8,000 lbs # K250CP. If you calipers have been replaced and say Titan on them then the...
view full answer... - Are Kodiak 225 Brake Pads Interchangeable With the Kodiak 204 Brake Calipers? According to Kodiak the 225 and 204 calipers and pads are not interchangeable. As they have discontinued the 204 calipers you will want to upgrade to the 225 Caliper # KDBC225DAC. This particular caliper is Dacromet coated for corrosion resistance. We also have a Stainless # KDBC225S if you will be using around salt water. These will use either the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads # K225CP and we also have them in Stainless # K225CPSS for better corrosion resistance as well to match with the...
view full answer... - Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Replacement PartsThe Kodiak 225 calipers # KDBC225S fit 3,500 lb 10 inch assemblies as well as 12 inch rotors up to 5,200 lbs. The 204 calipers fit 3,500 lb axles with 10 inch assemblies. The 225 calipers are more prominent than the 204 calipers but they are not directly interchangeable. I reached out to my contact at Dexter (who bought out Kodiak) and he said the mounting locations are slightly different and the piston size is different with the 204 model being roughly a 2 inch diameter piston and the...
view full answer... - Replacement Parts For Kodiak 225 Disk Brakes On A 2001 Four Winns Boat TrailerHi Glenn! The Kodiak 225 disk brakes were used on 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs axles, so there are a lot of bearing combinations and wheel bolt patterns that could have been used with them. If you could let me know your axle capacity as well as the bolt pattern for your wheels, I can definitely get you replacements for those. The pads are easier though, and I have those listed below: Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K225CPSS Kodiak Ceramic...
view full answer... - Replacement Disc Brake Pads for 2006 MasterCraft Tandem TrailerFrom my research it appears MasterCraft specifies Kodiak disc brakes on their tandem boat trailers so you'll just want to confirm the axle rating. Then just review the linked page that displays all Kodiak replacement pads like the part # K225CP that you referenced. Since these pads work for 3500- to 6000-lb brake assemblies they are most likely the ones you need. Each kit includes parts for one axle. We also have upgraded pads # K225CPSS with a stainless steel backing plate for superior...
view full answer... - Can Dot 5 Brake Fluid Be Used with Rebuilt Kodiak 225 Brake Calipers?The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KDBC225S and similar finishes will require the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit for 3,500 lb to 6,000 lb Trailer Brakes # KDBC225KIT which will give you all the seals, bolts, bushings, and piston needed. Once rebuilt the system can use Dot 5 brake fluid but only after removing all previous fluid and flushing the system. Dot 5 is not compatible with Dot 3 or 4 so a complete flush or new parts are required. I also recommend...
view full answer... - Replacement Hydraulic Disc Brakes for 2015 EX Loader Boat TrailerFor your 2105 EZ Loader TA102B boat trailer I am going to recommend upgrading to stainless steel parts to help ensure less corrosion and a longer life. First is the Kodiak Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Stainless Steel # KH84545S. These will require Bearings # L68149 and # L44649. Be sure to order a hub and bearing set for each wheel. To keep your oil bath style hub the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE1980KIT will include new seals and the cap for the hub to convert to...
view full answer... - Is it Okay if Inner Disc Brake Pad Is Not Held Tight to PistonThe reason the inner pad feels like it's not held tight is because the caliper is floating which means when there's not pressure one of the pads typically drifts further apart. But when the braking pressure is applied the force on both sides of the pad equalizes as the caliper floats. It's kind of a weird thing to try and describe but if you apply the brakes with the wheel off and watch the pads you'll see how it all works together.
view full answer... - Kodiak Stainless Steel Brake Pad Replacement for Kodiak 10 inch Disc Brake SetupFor your 10 inch Kodiak disc brake setup that's going to see saltwater the best option would be the stainless steel replacements part # K225CPSS which are a confirmed fit. These are ceramic too which means minimal brake dust and they also come with a limited lifetime warranty.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Pads for 2015 AmeraTrail Boat TrailerFrom what I could find it looks like your 2015 AmeraTrail boat trailer uses Kodiak disc brakes. If your axles are 3,500 lbs - 6,000 lbs I recommend replacement pads # K225CPSS (Kodiak 225) but if you have 7,000 lbs - 8,000 lbs axles then I recommend replacement pads # K250CP-SS (Kodiak 250). These are ceramic pads with a stainless steel back so they will last longer in water applications than regular backs. I have attached an installation video of these brake pads as well as a link to...
view full answer... - Does the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2R526S Include Stainless Steel Brake Pads?No, it does not. The brake pads included with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit item # K2R526S are your standard ceramic brake pads. To add stainless steel ones you'll need item # K225CPSS.
view full answer... - Does The Kodiak Disc Brake Assembly # K1HR35DS Include Brake Pads? Yes, the Stainless Steel Caliper # KDBC225S that comes in the Kodiak Disc Brake Assembly # K1HR35DS does have Brake Pads # K225CPSS loaded in the caliper.
view full answer... - Availability of Kodiak Brake Pads for 1996 Champion Boat TrailerYou will want to check your calipers for the number stamped on the outside between the two bleeder valves. (See image) If the number is 225 (calipers rated for 3,500 lbs - 6,000 lbs), then the correct brake pads are part # K225CP that you referenced. If you need pads with stainless steel backing plates (if your trailer gets launched in salt water you will want these) you would want part # K225CPSS.

- Do Brake Pads on Both Sides of a Trailer Axle with Disc Brakes Need to Be Replaced at the Same Time I would recommend you go with replacing the brake pads on the affected axle. Both sides of it, just like in a car how you do both sides at the same time. We currently have two sets of Kodiak brake pads for 3,500 lb setups. Part # K225CP or # K225CPSS for ones with stainless steel backing plates. You might be better off with the stainless steel setup if your last set rusted off.
view full answer... - 10" Stainless Steel Replacement Rotors For Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35D Dacromet RotorsYes, the Kodiak 10" Rotor Stainless Steel # KR10S can be used to replace the Dacromet coated rotors that come with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35D. You will not have to replace the caliper but I do recommend upgrading to the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate # K225CPSS.
