Disc Brakes
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes. Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged, and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use
This disc brake assembly resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat trailer. All KodaGuard calipers undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5-percent salt solution to determine corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 600 hours of constant exposure to the saltwater mist. This 600-hour salt spray rating indicates that this product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments, but it can also be used on trailers that come into contact with saltwater.
In addition, the rotors and caliper mounting brackets have a Dacromet plating, which offers a 300- to 400-hour salt spray rating. The pistons, the brake pad backings, and the caliper mounting bolts are stainless steel. These corrosion-resistant components make this Kodiak assembly a natural choice when installing disc brakes on your boat trailer.
Over-the-Hub Rotors for Easy Replacement
Kodiak's slip-on, cast iron rotor makes it easy to convert an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Simply place the rotor over your hub. It is most often wheel bolt piloted for a loose fit and then held in place by the wheel itself. With a separate rotor and hub, you can easily repair or replace one element of your brake system without having to junk the whole thing.
The rotor is made from cast iron, matching SAE specifications. Cast iron is ideal for high-temperature operations and offers a favorable friction coefficient to ensure adequate stopping power. Kodiak's rotors are vented to effectively dissipate heat, dramatically reducing the incidence of heat-related damage.
Calipers
Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Mounting Brackets
Designed for axles with 4-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty ductile iron that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.

once I resolved to change my rim size the rest of the installation was easy. the description said they will fit 13-inch wheels If you have an older trailer the rims will not clear the calipers.

My EZ loader boat trailer has been dunked in salt water hundreds of times (always rinsed later). The through-bolts and tandem torsion axle-disc brake systems do not hold up well to destructive rust. This is the second brake component replacement since they were new in 2014. Everyone "in the know" told me etrailer.com was the only way to go. They were so right. Good price, selection, inventory. Absolutely excellent free shipping and QUICK delivery with follow-up all the way along. The staff and service process gets 5 STARS PLUS. The quality of Kodiak parts looks great and components fit perfectly but realistically will require salt dunking for a year or two; hence my initial 4 stars. THIS IS THE PREMIER ONLINE TRAILER PARTS STORE I WILL USE FROM NOW ON FOR ALL MY TRAILER NEEDS!!!

I paid for 3-day shipping, but the order wasn't filled until 3 business days later. And the box was too light, and the box box broke during shipping, causing another delay. It took 10 days to get this order. The brake pads were already installed on the caliper with the clips already being bent. I could use them on my current calipers.

I am sorry that it was so hard to receive this order. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

After years of trouble with my trailer brakes, I overhauled my brake system using two of these kits and adding a set to the second axle. They are holding up well and have been used occasionally in salt water. I previously used kits that were hub and disk assemblies and I think separating them is a better alternative. I also installed greasable bolts on my springs and I'm really happy with those... Highly recommended!

Just received my kit yesterday afternoon, all the parts look great and except for the coating are exact replacement parts. I hope to install them this next week.
by: Wade R.07/01/2019
This kit is about 90% complete. You only need to reuse your existing backing plate bolts or buy and install new. It takes about 20 to install on one axel. The instructions are pretty simple. I'm very satisfied with this kit.

This product is still working out well. I generally use my boat trailer just a few times a year mostly Transitioning from the marina to my house in the spring and fall. The brakes work extremely well. The quality of parts and fit was perfect for my needs and type of use.
by: Michael 08/23/2022
Just what I needed. Mounted up and worked great on 1600 mile trip hauling my boat. Btw on the tires and rims I bought here too. Just buy whatever you are looking at here. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks!! What a great experience with etrailer.com. Trailer needed many parts, rusted, broken etc. Tried to contact maker of trailer for replacement parts, bad experience. Rude, unwilling to help, handling fees, VERY expensive shipping, and cash up front. I then turned to etrailer.com! Fantastic people on the line, sales personal were Kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about all my trailer needs. My parts arrived quickly, free shipping, and accurate. Not to mention I saved a bunch of money!!!! New Break System from front to back, new Trailer Winch. Thanks, Customer for life!
by: Guy schwartz 09/12/2017
I'm sure the actual parts are great. Unfortunately I was sent the wrong hubs by mistake ( I received hub/rotors not rotors) . The calipers that were sent were also not Kodacoated .
So..... no explanation of how the order got mixed up so badly from Etrailer although they were pretty good about getting the return set up through UPS.
by: Rich D.06/16/2017
I have ordered trailer parts numerous times with etrailer. Once again, they came thru. Good prices and on my doorstep two days later. I'll be ordering again at etrailer when the need arises. I would also add that the sales person was extremely knowledgeable and helpful on the phone.
by: David06/11/2019
They went on fine. Only time will tell if the special blue coating helps with the saltwater exposure. Paired these with an elec over hyd actuator. Stops the boat trailer smooth.

I installed these Kodiak Disk Brakes on my boat trailer over a years ago after having nothing but problems with the original set another brand. This is the second boat trailer Ive done the same thing with. My other trailer was a 16K lb trailer. Kodiak is without a doubt the best boat trailer brakes on the market.

- Replacement Recommendation For Disc Brakes For Three Axle Boat TrailerThe disc brakes you need will be determined by the weight of your axles (not the total capacity of your trailer), the size of your brake mounting flange (4-bolt most common), and the rotor diameter of your disc brakes. The best way to find the weight capacity of your axles is to look for a plate or sticker on your axles that provides information such as part number, lengths, and axle capacity (see attached picture). If the label is gone, then you can find the size with the diameter of...

- Can Kodiak Disc Brake Kit Calipers Be Mounted In Other PositionsAccording to Kodiak, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet and KodaGuard - 3,500 lbs # K2R35DKG calipers can be installed in 4 different positions. Typically they are installed at the 12 o'clock position, but 3, 6, and 9 are also acceptable. In other words, the mounting bracket can be installed in any direction the bolt pattern allows.

- Recommended Disc Brake Kit For A 14' Enclosed Trailer With 3.5K AxlesFor your 14' cargo trailer with 3,500-lbs axles, I recommend checking out the: -Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DKG. This kit will work with your 3.5K axles, your 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, and are self-adjusting for a smoother braking experience. Additionally, the calipers have a KodaGuard coating which has a 600 hour salt-spray rating, and the hub-rotors/brackets have a Dacromet coating, which has a 300-400 hour salt-spray rating.

- Recommended Disc Brake Kit For 20 Foot Boat TrailerBrake lines can get clogged, and most of the time it has to do with someone not being careful when adding fluid and getting small particles inside instead of having disintegrated parts due to corrosion. To upgrade to disc brakes, you will basically need to replace everything except the brake lines which can be blown out with compressed air. The coupler will require a stronger master cylinder for disc brakes vs. drum brakes because disc brakes require 1600 psi where drums require 1000-1200...
view full answer... - Axle and Hub Recommendation for Off Road Camper TrailerWhen it comes to building an off road camper trailer, the best configuration that I can come up with is using the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, # ASR35HDS02, with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, # K2HR526DKG. The heavy-duty steel construction and black powder coat finish of the axle-less system resists wear and corrosion and the rust-resistant, marine-grade, disc brake kit would be perfect for your set-up since you mention the fact of them going under water/mud on a regular basis.
view full answer... - Will Demco Disc Brake Actuator Put Out Enough Pressure for Kodiak Disc BrakesThe Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DKG that you referenced does indeed require a psi rating of at least 1,500 for proper operation but this is standard for disc brakes. Any brake actuator that is designed for disc brake assemblies, such as the Demco # DM62VR, will absolutely provide the needed pressure. They don't typically have a specific psi rating but they will typically put out around 1,500 to 1,600 psi, varying a bit depending on the weight of your trailer, stopping force, etc. I have...

Some actuators will only work with drum brakes because drum brakes do not require as much "pound per square inch" of fluid as a disk brake set up does. If it does not then you have to replace the actuator. I recommend Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator - Disc Brakes - 2" Ball - Zinc Plated - 7,500 lbs Item # 099-175-20. It is a bolt on application with the reverse lockout feature,...

They'd require either swapping out the master cylinder of the actuator for one that is compatible with disc brakes or going with an all new actuator...

That said, for slightly more money you can upgrade to the much more seamless hub/rotor design in the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR35D.

- Kodiak Disc Brake Kit that Fits Dexter 3,500 lb Trailer AxlesThank you for all of the info you listed for the axles you have. Since we know you have a Dexter 3,500 lb axle the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2R35DKG is the correct fit. Then for a kit that provides everything else to install you'd want the Hydrastar kit part # HBA16-252-82 and you'd be set. This comes with the fastest and most reliable actuator out there. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert Trailer to Surge Disc with Welded on Atwood Actuator and 3,500 lb AxlesSince your current Atwood surge drum actuator is welded to your trailer frame what you'll need to do is take the trailer to a welder who can cut the welds and remove what you have now and in place install a weld on coupler designed for disc brakes like the part # DX63FR. Since the diameter of your brake drum is 10 inch that means you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle so for a disc brake kit to replace that you'd just need the # K2R35DKG.

- What Info is Needed to Pick Out Surge Disc Brake Kit for TrailerIf I know what axle capacity your trailer needs and if the trailer has a pole tongue or an a-frame design I can get you set up with everything. But just to check did you mean 12,500 psi from the actuator or 12,500 lb axles? 12.5k psi would be too low for disc brakes as they require higher pressure of 1,600 psi. For example the Kodiak disc brake kit part # KSR35DKG is for a 3,500 lb axle so for an actuator you could use the part # DM8104311 and for a single axle line kit part # 18SI-BLKIT.

If you wanted to swap to flexible rubber brake lines, for a single axle trailer you'd want to use the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 18SI-BLKIT or the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line...

What you need is the Brake Mounting Bolt for 7" and 10" Brake Assemblies # 7-75. Along with the bolts you will also want the Mounting Nut for 7" and 10" Brake Assemblies - 7/16" Diameter - Zinc Plated # 6-17 and the Lock Washer for Brake Mounting Bolt for 7" and 10" Brake Assemblies - 7/16" Diameter # 5-8.
