Saltwater and road salt can destroy standard brakes fast. These 12" x 2" etrailer electric drum brakes use a Dacromet coating rated for 700 hours in continuous salt spray testing, making them a solid choice for boat or coastal trailers. The corrosion-resistant finish protects the backing plates and hardware from rust so you can keep towing in wet or salty environments with confidence.
These assemblies use automotive-grade friction material that’s fully bonded to the shoes instead of riveted. That means quieter operation, no screeching from worn rivets, and more pad surface area for stronger braking torque. The tapered edges help cut down on chatter and lockup, giving you smooth, predictable control every time you hit the brakes.
Hooking these up is straightforward—just connect the two wires and mount with bolts (sold separately). You’ll only need an electric brake controller since there are no hydraulic lines or actuators to deal with. The manual adjusters let you fine-tune brake shoe clearance quickly through the backing plate ports to keep stopping distances consistent as the pads wear.
Each set includes both left-hand (driver’s side) and right-hand (passenger’s side) assemblies built for standard 5-bolt mounting flanges. They fit 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" wheels on 5,200-lb, 6,000-lb, and 7,000-lb axles. With CSA, QAI, and SAE-N certifications, these brakes meet rigorous performance standards for safety and reliability under load.

After a year of service these brakes are still doing what they were made to do. Glad to have gotten them when I did.

These brake assemblies are working perfectly. After one year there is no rust or corrosion. Brake shoe wear is nominal. They require adjustment every 200 miles or so two round trips to the lake in order to maintain smooth operation.
