Can Brakes Be Added to Cox Super Loader Boat Trailer

Updated 05/17/2016 | Published 05/14/2016

Question:

I have an older Cox Super Loader boat trailer, dual axle 25 ft long steel. Is there somewhere to look up the axle/hub sizing to determine replacement parts? And would it be feasible to go from standard hubs to hubs w/brakes?

In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. I wish there was a database that had your trailer's hub info but that does not exist. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.

Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed are the parts of the spindle where the bearings ride.

If you get back to me with that information I will help you pick out the right hub assemblies. Or, you can follow the link I attached that will take you to the page that has all of our replacement hubs.

You would want to first select the bolt pattern that you have, next select the inner bearing you have, followed by selecting your outer bearing, and then all the correct hubs will be listed.

I also attached a link to a page that will walk you through adding brakes to a trailer that does not currently have them.
