Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for Boat Trailer With 3,500-lb Axles

Question:

I have purchased a boat with trailer shorelandr slv22 with swing tongue. It comes with the flanges already on the axle for brakes. I am looking to purchase a disc brake kit with flex lines at the tongue and calipers with 4 bolt pattern. I would prefer non hub rotors, however I understand this may not be possible. Please advise.

If you have the same boat trailer as you did in your previous question, which has 3,500 lb axles and 13 inch wheels, then the only kit that we offer for your trailer is the Titan Disc Brake Kit # T4843300. The thing about this kit is that it comes with a coupler, which you already have, and the hub/rotors that you were not wanting.

This kit includes the combination of a few different kits. Since you already have an actuator, the kits that you would need are the Disc Brake Assembly (2 of them) # T10HREKITBB which does come with a rotor, and the Titan Hydraulic Brake Lines and Fittings for Single-Axle, Torsion-Axle Trailers # T4829900 which uses the flex lines at the tongue and calipers. These kits include everything in the kit # T4843300 except for the actuator. Since you will be using this for a boat trailer you will also need 1 additional hose, part # T0776500, 1 extra hose clip, part # T0776400, and a bracket, part # T0776300.

The Hub/Rotor uses a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern so you will want to make sure that your wheels will fit properly. If that is the case, this is the best and easiest option for you.
