Question:
Can the electric brakes be used safely on boat trailers that will see both fresh and salt water?
asked by: Biggart M
Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, electric brakes like the # 23-468-469 can be used on boat trailers that see salt water and fresh water. It's a smart idea to unplug the trailer wiring before backing the boat into the water but we realize most people do not do this.
The part # 23-468-469 that you referenced is a set of self adjusting brake assemblies that fit 3,500 lb axles that are 10 inch in diameter.
