I can let you know how to determine what disc brakes you need although we do not have any type of database with parts based on year, make and model of trailer and I was unable to find any reference to a model TRSX240.

To get the right replacement disc brake assemblies you need to know the weight capacity of your trailer's axles, the number of bolts in your brake mounting flange (like in the accompanying photo) and your bolt pattern for the rotors to slip over. If you are unsure of what your bolt pattern is you can take a look at the accompanying help article which explains exactly how to determine it. I have also added a link to a help article which explains what you need to replace disc brakes.

You did not specify all the parts you need but it sounds like you are looking for an over-the-hub rotor and for salt water you definitely want stainless steel. For example, if you find your trailer has 3,500 lb axles, a 4-bolt brake mounting flange and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern a great option is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Stainless Steel - 3,500 lbs # K2R35S.

I have added a link to a video review of this brake kit as well as a link to our entire selection of disc brakes if you do need something that will fit different capacity axles.
