Perfect for Boat Trailers

Kodiak disc brakes installed on a trailer

If you tow a boat trailer, live in a coastal area, or experience a lot of snow, slush, and salt on the roads, you know how corrosive salt and water can be. Because disc brakes last longer than drum brakes, you should consider how things like rust might impact your trailer over time.


The Dacromet coating on these brakes offers great corrosion protection, even with frequent use in freshwater and saltwater. It can withstand 300 to 400 hours of continual exposure to salt spray before corrosion begins, which is comparable to galvanized steel. So - unless you're driving your trailer through water for 2 weeks straight with no chance for the brakes to dry - it'll be a while before any rust starts to form.


Get a Safer, More Comfortable Ride

Say goodbye to the days of your truck being pushed and pulled by your trailer. Disc brakes provide a safer, more comfortable ride than drum brakes. They offer shorter stopping distances and deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds. So, you won't have to worry about things crashing around in your trailer or camper next time you reach unexpected traffic on the highway or debate if you can actually stop before that yellow light turns red.


Save Time and Money

More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes. Not only do disc brakes provide more controlled braking than drum brakes, but they also save you money by having fewer parts to maintain.


diagram comparing the number of parts in drum brakes and disc brakes

Unlike drum brakes, which have springs, magnets, and shoes that may need to be continually adjusted or replaced, disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free. There are no springs, cables, or other little components that you'll need to worry about failing.


disc brake caliper and brake pad

The brake pads will naturally wear down, so eventually you'll have to replace them. But these pads are also way easier to replace than drum brake shoes. The caliper - where the pads are housed - is located on the outside of the brake assembly. This means you just have to remove that one part to replace the brake pads rather than having to remove the entire assembly like you would with drum brakes.


close up view of vented rotor

This particular kit can save you time and money over other disc brakes on the market as well. A slip-on rotor may be easier to install initially, but water can find its way between the rotor and your existing hub, causing uneven rotor wear or runout. With a 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly, water and debris can't get in to cause any corrosion or contamination.


In addition, vented rotors, like these, disperse heat faster than non-vented rotors. When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. So even if you take your boat or camper out every weekend, these trailer brakes will continue to offer excellent performance throughout their long life.


mounting bracket supporting disc brake

Kodiak disc brakes have a unique caliper mounting bracket as well. The side-support design puts all of the weight on the mounting bracket instead of on the bolts. This reduces premature wear and extends the life of the bolts, further ensuring optimal performance.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

If you want to remount your existing wheels after installing these brakes, you'll need a kit that offers the same bolt pattern. To determine the bolt pattern, count the number of bolt holes (or lug nuts) on your trailer's wheel. This will give you the first number in the pattern. To find the second number, just measure the distance between a bolt hole and the bolt hole across from it.


diagram showing how to measure even bolt pattern

For example on wheels with an even number of bolt holes: 6 on 5-1/2" means 6 bolt holes with 5-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the center of the hole across from it.


diagram showing how to measure odd bolt pattern

And with an odd number of bolt holes: 5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the farthest edge of one of the 2 farthest bolt holes.

See what our Experts say about this Kodiak Trailer Brakes

  • Do Kodiak Disc Brake Kits Change Location of Wheel on Trailer Axle
    Hey Jeremey, this is a great question but the Kodiak disc brake kits like the part # KOD87FR are designed to keep the wheel placement the exact same so that you wouldn't have to worry about frame or fender clearance issues. This would not rub on your torsion axle at all.

  • Is There a Brake System For a 3,500LB Axle Which Will Allow For 10 Wheels?
    You would have to convert to Disc Brakes # KOD87FR to fit a 10" wheel on your 3,500lb axle. This hub uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. These are Dacromet coated which is almost as good as a galvanized coating but is definitely better than just paint. Depending on our snowmobile trailer you would need either a surge style disc brake Actuator # T47457007K or a electric over hydraulic Actuator # CAR-HBA16-2.

  • Replacement Disc Brake Kit for 2014 EZ Loader Boat Trailer
    Thank you for providing that information. That is an EZ Loader custom trailer that uses # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings. If you're looking for a hub/rotor assembly you can use the # KOD87FR as a replacement. If you already have an idler hub and need an over-the hub rotor you can use the # K2R35D for a replacement. It looks like you're using oil now, but you can replace that with grease # L11390. If you want to stick with an oil bath setup we also have the # KOD77FR available...

  • Can Kodiak Caliper Fit with Tie Down Engineering Disc Brakes
    Calipers, like the 3.5K Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC, are really only designed to work with same-branded systems so I can't recommend using this for your Tie Down Engineering system. If you need to only replace the calipers then you'll want to get Tie Down Engineering calipers, otherwise you can switch to a whole Kodiak setup with the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD87FR which has all of the parts designed to fit together.

  • Can 3.5K Kodiak Disc Brakes Be Used with Dexter A-60 Brake Actuator
    As long as your actuator is rated for 1,600 psi you'll be able to use 2 sets of the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD87FR, yes. You should be able to confirm this by checking for the rating on your actuator itself. It will either be stamped into it or there will be a sticker showing the rating. If your trailer is currently equipped with disc brakes then it will be rated for these disc brakes, but if you have drum brakes I'll need some photos of your actuator so we can get you a replacement that...

  • Need To Replace Tie Doen Disc Brake Actuator And Calipers
    Hey Kenny, thanks for getting in touch. Our best option for replacing your tie down model 125 is the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator part # T4750800. The Titan coupler is rated for 12,500 lbs just like the Tie Down and it uses a 2-5/16" hitch ball. It is also rated for use on disc brakes. If the current actuator has a lockout feature and you want to add that to the new one just use part # T4750820. As far as the calipers, it is hard to confirm fitment without knowing exactly what model...

  • Parts Needed to Add Hydraulic Disc Brakes to Pontoon Boat Trailer
    Hi Adam; the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR you were looking at is a great option to pair with the # KOD87FR. This fits a 3" wide trailer tongue so you will need to make sure that is what you have. This will also require adding a 5-way to the trailer and your vehicle to use the electric lockout. On the vehicle side you can use the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat # C57187. If you already have a 7-way on your vehicle then you could...
