Parts Needed To Add Drum Brakes To A 2021 Shorelander Boat Trailer
Question:
I have a 2021 shorelander Boat trailer and looking to put a electric brake system on it 13x4.5 rim. 11-20 8-436 stamped hub. 2960 gawr. Any suggestions for drums and backing plate system? Can wire it in easy.

Thanks for the all the info. For the brake assemblies you'll want part # K23-472-473-00. These are designed to mount onto a 4-bolt brake mounting flange, if your axles don't have a brake flange then it'll honestly be less expensive to just replace the axle than it would be to get a brake flange welded in place. If that's the case let me know and we can explore the available options.
The 8-436 does have a few different options but they all use Inner Bearing # L68149 and Outer Bearing # L44649 and from what I can see they all have a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. You'll want to double check the bolt pattern to ensure compatibility with your wheels, but I'm fairly certain that they're 5 on 4.5 with a 1/2" stud so you can use part # 8-247-50UC3. These hubs are galvanized to help reduce wear from the water. If you just want regular hubs you can use part # AKHD-545-35-K instead, but they'll wear more quickly.
You'll want to pick up some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10 for the brake magnet wiring since you're backing into water and you'll need to pick up some marine grease # L74FR for your bearings.
I've attached a short video below where I'll walk you through the installation process with a trailer that I switch over from idler to a hub/drum setup with brakes. If you have any other questions then please let me know.
