Question:
Hello, I just purchased a 25foot center console boat with twin 250s and a dual axle 5000 lbs per axle I believe aluminum trailer. Unfortunately the trailer doesnt have brakes, but it does have an old surge brake hitch assembly. I would like to convert the trailer to an electric over hydraulic disc brake system. The trailer currently has 15inch wheels and has a 5 bolt brake flange. The trailer hubs have 6 lugs so I think the bolt pattern is 6 x 5.5. With this information, can you help me build a kit that fits my needs? I have looked, but couldnt find a EOH disc brake kit. By kit I mean every piece needed to redo the entire trailer. Any help will be appreciated and if you should need any other information please feel free to ask. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
If you do have 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern wheels you would want to start with two sets of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526D. These will work on your 5 bolt mounting flange, have enough capacity as they are for 5,200 and 6,000 lb axles. I would strongly recommend you determine your bolt pattern before you buy anything though. Check out the FAQ article I attached on determining bolt patterns.
For an actuator setup I would recommend the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102. For a brake line kit I would recommend you get the Deluxe Hydraulic Line Kit # 9579-2.
