Question:
I have an 2004 Triton boat on a single axle trailer with surge brakes, boat and trailer were a package bought new by me in 2004. How do I figure out which brake part # I need?

Generally the best way to find out which brakes you need is by measuring the inside dimensions of the drum, but you can also usually determine this by your wheel size. Your best bet is to take a wheel off the trailer and pull the drum off to determine which brakes are going to work best for you.
