I can tell you exactly how to find compatible drum brake assemblies, though I took a look and could not find any type of reference to Dico 40511.
To determine the brake assemblies that will fit your 2002 Escort boat trailer, you need to know your axle's weight capacity, your mounting flange bolt pattern and the inside diameter and depth of your drum.
For example, Hydraulic Brake Kit # AKFBBRK-35-D are rated for 3,500 lb axles, have a 4-bolt mounting flange pattern and measure 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide. These are free-backing brakes which allow you to back up without engaging the brakes.
I've added a link to our selection of drum brake assemblies for you as well as a help article on what you will need in order to add drum brakes, though if you get back to me with the aforementioned information I would be able to recommend the best option for your trailer.
