Ideal for Saltwater Boat Trailers
If you take your boat down to the coast every weekend, you know how corrosive saltwater can be. Because disc brakes last longer than drum brakes, you should consider how things like rust might impact your trailer over time.
The Dacromet coating on these brakes offers great corrosion protection, even with frequent use in saltwater. It can withstand 300 to 400 hours of continual exposure to salt spray before corrosion begins, which is comparable to galvanized steel. And the stainless steel calipers are rustproof. So - unless you're driving your trailer through water for 2 weeks straight with no chance for the brakes to dry - it'll be a while before any rust starts to form.
Get a Safer, More Comfortable Ride
Say goodbye to the days of your truck being pushed and pulled by your trailer. Disc brakes provide a safer, more comfortable ride than drum brakes. They offer shorter stopping distances and deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds. So, you won't have to worry about things crashing around in your trailer or camper next time you reach unexpected traffic on the highway or debate if you can actually stop before that yellow light turns red.
Save Time and Money
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes. Not only do disc brakes provide more controlled braking than drum brakes, but they also save you money by having fewer parts to maintain.
Unlike drum brakes, which have springs, magnets, and shoes that may need to be continually adjusted or replaced, disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free. There are no springs, cables, or other little components that you'll need to worry about failing.
The brake pads will naturally wear down, so eventually you'll have to replace them. But these pads are also way easier to replace than drum brake shoes. The caliper - where the pads are housed - is located on the outside of the brake assembly. This means you just have to remove that one part to replace the brake pads rather than having to remove the entire assembly like you would with drum brakes.
This particular kit can save you time and money over other disc brakes on the market as well. A slip-on rotor may be easier to install initially, but water can find its way between the rotor and your existing hub, causing uneven rotor wear or runout. With a 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly, water and debris can't get in to cause any corrosion or contamination.
In addition, vented rotors, like these, disperse heat faster than non-vented rotors. When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. So even if you take your boat or camper out every weekend, these trailer brakes will continue to offer excellent performance throughout their long life.
Kodiak disc brakes have a unique caliper mounting bracket as well. The side-support design puts all of the weight on the mounting bracket instead of on the bolts. This reduces premature wear and extends the life of the bolts, further ensuring optimal performance.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
If you want to remount your existing wheels after installing these brakes, you'll need a kit that offers the same bolt pattern. To determine the bolt pattern, count the number of bolt holes (or lug nuts) on your trailer's wheel. This will give you the first number in the pattern. To find the second number, just measure the distance between a bolt hole and the bolt hole across from it.
For example on wheels with an even number of bolt holes: 6 on 5-1/2" means 6 bolt holes with 5-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the center of the hole across from it.
And with an odd number of bolt holes: 5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the farthest edge of one of the 2 farthest bolt holes.

Video Transcript for Review of Kodiak Trailer Brakes - 13" Hub/Rotor 7K Dacromet/Stainless Disc Brakes - KOD45FR
Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Kodiak 13 inch Hub and Rotor Disc Brake Assembly Set. This is going to allow you to upgrade your trailer from drum brakes to disc brakes, so that you can take advantage of the superior performance that comes along with having disc brakes on your trailer. Or if you already have disc brakes and you're wanting to upgrade to a higher quality finish on your brakes so you don't have to keep replacing them every couple of years, this is gonna be a great set for you as well. These do have a dichromate finish on the hub and rotors, as well as on the mounting brackets, that's gonna offer an excellent rust and corrosion resistance. It's got a 300 to 400 hour salt spray rating and so it will hold up really well for you.
And then our calipers are a stainless steel construction, so they are obviously gonna be rustproof. So this is gonna be an excellent option for your salt water boat trailers, or really any trailer that's gonna be in corrosive environments, heavily salted roads, that sort of thing on a frequent basis. This is gonna hold up really well for you. So if you are wanting to upgrade the finish, this is gonna be a great set for that as well. Now making sure that this is gonna work for your application, having the two assemblies here is going to allow you to upgrade a single 7,000 pound capacity axle with the number 42 spindles.
Our rotors are 13 inches in diameter, and as you can see, we have eight of these nine 16th inch diameter wheel bolts in the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. So these are gonna work for your wheels that are 16 inches and larger. And then again, if you are wanting to upgrade from your drum breaks to disc brakes, these are going to offer excellent performance for you. It's gonna be a dramatic difference between your drum breaks to the disc brakes here. These do use ceramic brake pads that will help to increase your stopping power, so it's going to dramatically shorten your stopping distance.
We also have a large two and a half inch diameter stainless steel piston that provides fast, responsive braking. So it is gonna provide smoother, more controlled braking than you're probably used to with your drum brakes. It's gonna help keep your trailer from pushing and pulling, so definitely an improvement in performance. And then, in addition to better performance, these are also going to require less maintenance. So it is gonna help save you time and money over the long run.
Having the one piece hub and rotor assembly reduces the chance of uneven rotor wear. And then if we move to the side here, you can see we do have this vented design that's gonna help dissipate your heat faster to prevent premature brake pad wear. Now, the brake pads will wear down over time. They will need to be replaced, but that's a pretty straightforward process, and those are really the only components that are gonna need to be replaced. The rest of these are a very high quality automotive grade construction, so this is gonna be very long lasting for you, not like your drum breaks that have all those small springs and other components that have to be maintained and/or replaced. So it is gonna help save you time and money over the long run. Now, the one caveat if you are switching from drum brakes to disc brakes, is that disc brakes do require a higher line pressure than your drum brakes. So you're gonna need to make sure that you've got a hydraulic brake actuator and break lines that are rated for 1500 psi or higher in order to activate your disc brakes here. And that's gonna be kind of rare for your trailers that are currently set up for drum brakes. So might take some doing to get everything switched over. If you don't already have hydraulic brake actuator and brake lines ready for that 1500 psi, we do have those available here at etrailer.com. Obviously, they're not included in this kit, so this isn't gonna give you everything that you need, but it is going to give you the two dichromate plated cast iron hub and rotor assemblies, with the eight pre-installed nine 16th inch diameter wheel bolts on each one. We're also going to get 16 of these nine 16th inch stainless steel lug nuts to hold your wheel in place. We've got our two stainless steel calipers here, as well as our two dichromate plated ductile iron caliper mounting brackets on the backside here. You can see these do have the five bolt brake flinch configuration, so it is gonna be very easy to get mounted onto your axle. I do wanna point out that I've got these mounted on top just for display purposes for balance, but when you actually go to install them, they're gonna be mounted on the side. That side support design puts all the weight on the mounting brackets instead of on your bolts so it helps your bolts last longer. You are gonna get four of these stainless steel caliper mounting bolts, two for each assembly here. And we also have our inner and our outer races that are pre-installed. We also get the inner and outer bearings that will fit into those races. I have to make sure that everything is rotating smoothly there. This system is lubricated with oil, so we are going to get our two oil seals for the inside and our two oil caps for the outside. We're also going to get one eight ounce bottle of synthetic bearing oil to make sure that everything is staying well lubricated in there and moving around like it should. So overall, like I said, whether you're wanting to upgrade for performance or for better quality finish so that you're not having to replace the break assemblies every few years, this is gonna be a great set for you. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
