Marine-grade, free-backing, driver-side brake won't engage in reverse, even if actuator is activated. Automotive-grade friction pads are long-lasting. Dacromet-coated backing plate resists rust. Fits 14-1/2" to 16-1/2" wheels.Brake shipped the next day and received 3 days later. Went on easily, reinstalled the hub and bearings, but can't get the brakes to adjust using the star on the bottom. Of course no instructions came with the brake and no instructions on which way to turn the star. So here I am all put back together and can't get it adjusted!
Now I have to take it all apart again, wait on parts and miss another weekend of boating! So as far as I'm concerned this thing is Chinese garbage! I've done this before and never had such troubles!!!!
These make the work of changing trailer brakes mind-numbingly easy. Definitely worth buying this unit versus messing with spring kits etc. They adjust easily as well, as long as you have the appropriate tool to do so.
Placed order on a Sunday. Parts were in stock but shipped on a Thursday. If you batch and queue shipments you should say that in your shipping information. Also, the packaging was completely unacceptable. Both parts stacked in a box with nothing to keep them from banging against each other. Upper brake assys had chipped brake lining. The other, missing bleeder cap.

We dont like to see this kind of issue. I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to better assist you.
1974 was the year of this boat and trailer. i can tell you that the origanal brake assemblys were SHOT! i had no brakes on the trailer for years. and now ( after blowing my wheel cylinders on my truck) i have brakes on the trailer again. (dont know why i waited so long this job was not that hard)As a truck and trailer unit i have better braking than just the truck by itself. i bled the brakes and adjusted them. i had my wife and daughter actuate the surge brake cylinder. its simple enough to do. time for the lake!

I purchased four of these for my 1993 boat trailer. It was cheaper and easier to buy 4 of these than to buy the parts and rebuild the old ones. The parts were high quality and easy to install.

The items mentioned are still working well. I have been so pleased with my etrailer purchases that we bought 4 new tires and rims from you this spring. Paid less for 4 tires and rims than the local dealer wanted for two tires, no rims.
Great fit, made the repair nice and easy.
Actually more cost/time effective to remove 5 bolts and reinstall 5 bolts plus bleed wheel cylinder rather than fighting clips, springs, cleaning and adjusting everything.
These fit my application like a glove !!! Way easier than piecing together all the parts separately!! Hardest part of the install was re-starting the brake line fitting because it fit so perfectly to my application !!
perfect replacement, works great, great price. Very happy!
Carla M. worked with me to make sure we had all the right parts for my boat trailer. I am quite happy with her help.
Once again a job well done, all parts were correct that the tech recommended when I explained what I was doing. After I ordered the parts came sooner than I expected. Great instructional videos if you need them.
Perfectly packaged, and Fast delivery!
Very happy with her knowledge of the products. Pleasant to talk with. I received the products in a timely manner. Over all very happy. Thanks.

Dacromet-coated backing plates resist rust. Fit 14-1/2" to 16-1/2" wheels.I bought these new for less than the local brake materials shop quoted me to rebuild the old brakes. They have a nice coating that should resist rust for awhile. They seem to slow the trailer well. I would buy them again.

They are working like they should. I ran 800 miles in one day about a month ago, no worries on the trailer end. With the surge brake, just hit the truck brake a little harder and the trailer starts braking also.
Very helpful staff. I did all 4 breaks and bearings complete. Glad I checked things out, seals were gone and one wheel had bearings that failed and I was lucky I made it home. Also put on new brake lines and master cylinder, all good now. Tnks

Working great! Dont overgrease your bearing buddys!
Purchase these units as part of my trailer overhaul. These bolt on in the original holes without a problem, very easy to install, added new kodiak brake lines and new drums, very pleased thus far with the product. like it's all one easy set up. I was going to buy new brakes and associate parts but after seeing these and the price I chose this route after than busting my knuckles trying to mess with springs and stuff. highly recommend
After the old backing plate was removed from my 20 year old boat trailer, the installation of the new backing plate and break assemble took less then one hour . The drum with the bearings installed slid right on .
INSTALLED ON A CUSTOMER VEHICLE AND IT WORKED
Items were correct! Two boxes to ship the items. First box was damaged and required tape to keep the contents in tack. Second box was not damaged and contained two assembled backing plates. The right plate was missing parts (found in bottom of box) and the pin holding one of the shoes on was bent in two different directions. Had to straighten the pin in order to reassemble the plate and brakes.

I am sorry to hear that your item arrived missing some parts. I see that our customer service department has sent you out some replacements. They should be arriving some time this next coming week. Once you have received your replacement order, we would love to hear your feedback.
I Purchased hydraulic drum Brakes - Uni-servo backing plates form Lisa D at etrailer. I could not be more pleased. The items arrived when they were supposed to and were exactly what they were supposed to be. Lisa was very professional and knowledgeable, and followed up through email. I needed the items fast, and even after priority shipping, the cost was less than i could have found elsewhere. I will use etrailer again should the need arise.

I am very pleased with the brake system. It is installed and functioning very well on a heavy duty equipment trailer which is often called upon to haul in excess of 10,000
Delivery was on time and correct application. Packing could be better as parts shifted and tore through box.
Had an issue with a bolt loose in 1 of the brakes but entire assembly was quickly replaced by etrailer and it turned into a great experience.
Great on phone help….. OK was very impressed that the 2 ladies I talked with on 2 different calls really knew their STUFF. Very impressed and ordered on Sat. del. on Wed. with tracking sent to me. Will be back when I break these in with new salt water.
Time will tell, have had issues with them right away. Not sure if it is something I did wrong or faulty components. Have a scheduled service to determine cause of issue.

I can understand that you would want the brakes to work right away. Can you tell me more about the issues that you had with them? Was the service company able to determine what was going on?
Great product easy installation very happy with product
As far as I can tell, everything will work. The box holding the left & right backplates looked like it had been dropped. I checked the box and found that one of the plates springs had broken loose. My husband fixed it. Maybe they should put into bigger box.
Fit perfectly and great price!

Good quality product at a good price. Also very helpful
Just one of the many satisfied customers with the company etrailer. I have used this on line site to refurbish my used boat trailers over the last 10 + years. During this pandemic I sort of let my trailer sit around and just wait until the end is near to react and make the trailer road worthy. After 3 years in out of salt water (mostly in) you might get this. After acquiring new brakes and drums from etrailer it’s back to the salt water again. Thanks for the essential workers at etrailer George, Savanna, and Carol. Cheers
Good quality parts and materials and/or coatings that will resist the salt water corrosion. Easy swap in for the old parts. I was replacing a set where one brake pad was cracked (the new ones are bonded instead of riveted) and one where the hydraulic cylinder had blown out and drenched everything in brake fluid. Well worth the cost and well worth the additional cost for corrosion resistance if you launch in salt water.
First time order with etrailer.com and can't say enough about the experience. The website is top-notch, from excellent product description video presentations, easy order process and even visuals to provide shipping progress. Excellent assistance on product application and great follow-up customer service. Will not hesitate to order from etrailer in the future. Brakes are excellent quality and build and perfect fit.
Easiest brake job I ever did! Complete assembly bolted to the trailer in the original position. No fussing around. Connected brake line, bled brakes and was rolling again. With free shipping, I couldn't go wrong.
I have been using eTrailer for two years, Customer service is great, I could also easily reach technical support for issues with installation. They also respond to emails!
I was initially concerned about finding the right parts as the trailer was fairly old. etrailer had just what I needed. The website is so elegant. I was able to find the right parts quickly and with comparative options to make a final selection. The how-to videos are great. This made installation a little more comfortable. Especially when you do not perform this type of work every day. The parts were of high quality and are working as expected. I highly recommend etrailer for any of your trailer needs.
I received some great advice and help from Leeza in selecting the correct product for my needs. Without serial numbers or identifiable model numbers on my existing trailer parts, she was able to determine the correct parts for my particular trailer needs (on a 25 year old trailer.whose manufacturer is no longer in business).
I received the parts in the time span indicated upon ordering, and they fit perfectly.
A good experience all around.
The crew over etrailers work their butt off I ordered the wrong 12 inch backing plate with shoes it was already loaded on the truck they went out and pulled it from the truck and did not charge me and reordered and sent the right product it a ride fast
The brake arrived kit sooner than I expected. Christen was very helpful with the order. I mounted them on the trailer this weekend and I will try them tomorrow
Bent pins on one assembly and had to be removed to straighten before installation. Seems to have been dropped some time during shipping or handling.
