Replacement Disc Brake Kit for Boat Trailer with 6k Axles

Published 11/10/2026

Question:

Im looking to replace the Load Rite Knott discs and calipers on a 24foot boat trailer. It has 6,000 lb axles and is a rotor and hub. Their p/n 4265.08K. It is used for salt water on the N Carolina coast but may sit for a year or two until I need to pull my boat out. What do you have that I can use?

Hey Steve, I did some research and the DeeMaxx brake kit part # DE58YR is what I recommend to replace what is on your boat trailer. It is a 6k axle disc brake kit with stainless and maxx coatings to protect all of the components from corrosion since you'll be in saltwater. I also verified this is the correct wheel bolt pattern as well. What kind of boat do you have and how many axles have brakes on your trailer? For saltwater you can't beat stainless steel but that is why it's more on the more expensive side.
