Hey Brian,
For electric brakes on your trailer I recommend the etrailer Electric Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA. This comes as a kit for 1 axle with both assemblies ready to slide onto your axle. those pair well with the Galvanized hub and drum assemblies # AKHD-655-6-G-K. These come with all necessary bearings, races and seals and the galvanized finish is great for marine applications.
A good breakaway kit option I recommend is the Bright Way # 3802346 which comes as a full kit with the battery included for your trailer. The 7-way upgrade # e99011 will let you get the 7 way plug you need on your trailer to get those brakes setup. Extra wire # 10-1-1 will let you run to each axle to tie into the brakes and get you ready to go.
What kind of boat are you hauling?
