I currently have four different self-adjusting assemblies for your boat trailer with 10" x 2-1/4" electric drum brakes. You can choose from the following: -Terran Axle Electric Trailer Brakes #TX97ZJ (3,500 Axles) -etrailer Electric Trailer…
To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…
The etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA and the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Kit # 23-464-465 referenced in your question are both self-adjusting assemblies that will work to replace the existing Dexter brakes on your 7,000…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
Hi Calvin! All of the pre-greased hubs/drums, like the Terran Industries Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 #TX68VJ, come with bearings made overseas and are all basically the same quality. At least that I…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Hey Scott! I recommend using the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS381-8067. Hydrastar is a reliable, proven brand so it will serve you well. Then for brake lines you can use the Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit -…
Hey Dale, both DeeMax and Hydrastar make really nice disc brake components. Either kit is going to work really well for your 2022 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS. If you want the best of the best and don't mind paying for the premium brand then go…
The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brakes can be manually adjusted. There are a couple teeth of the adjustment wheel that are exposed just under the lever that you referenced. I have attached a photo showing the teeth. You will likely need a…
The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
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 necessary.…
Hey Robert, yes the Kodiak disc brake calipers part #KDBC225DAC that you referenced will replace the Tie Down calipers you have now 46304, they can be used as a left or right hand caliper and does come with ceramic brake pads. If you ever needed…

Kodiak Rotor Trailer Brakes for saltwater-ready upgrades
Step up from drum setups with Kodiak rotor trailer brakes that slide over existing idler hubs for a straightforward upgrade. Choose stainless for tough saltwater use or go with Dacromet and KodaGuard when you want strong corrosion protection without the jump in cost. These rotor kits work with surge or electric-over-hydraulic systems, and you'll need a standard brake mounting flange for proper fit.
Yes, especially in stainless steel. Stainless steel discs are far superior in saltwater and easier to rinse/wash clean, and they can look almost new after a full year of use. Rinse with fresh water when you get home to help them last. If a previous owner didn't rinse, expect more cleanup during the swap.
Yes, rotor kits can slide over existing idler hubs and the caliper brackets bolt to the brake mounting flange. For surge setups you'll also need a hydraulic actuator and a brake line kit. Confirm your axle capacity and wheel bolt pattern to choose the right components.
Pick stainless for the highest corrosion protection. Dacromet-coated with KodaGuard calipers is a coated option, while stainless is entirely stainless and offers much better long-term protection against corrosion. It's a strong choice for road salt or marine use.
Installation is much like car brakes and can be straightforward. Remove the hub assembly and clean the spindles. Verify you have a brake mounting flange for the caliper brackets. Check lug length; some setups need an idler hub upgrade if lugs aren't long enough. Bleed the system after install.
