Option For Replacing Tie Down 46304 Cailpers
Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/16/2024 >
Question:
I currently have the original Tie Down 46304 calipers on my 2009 Ranger boat trailer. The R/H caliper appears to be sticking and overheating and Id like to replace both calipers. From what I have researched, this Kodiak caliper part KDBC225DAC is a direct replacement. Is that correct?
