Recommended Disc Brake Conversion For Tandem Axle Boat Trailer With 13 Inch Wheels
Question:
I have a boat trailer with tandem 13inch wheels. I do not see a brake kit for the tandem 13inch wheel trailer. Do you sell a tandem axle disk brake kit for 13inch wheel trailers? Thank you and interested in putting a set of your brakes on my boat trailer.

We don't have a kit for 13 inch wheels, but I can give you all the components you need.
For your rotor/hubs, you will need 2 of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 8" Rotor/Hub - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs # K2HR35D-8. This will require 4 of the # L68149 bearings, 4 of the # L44649 bearings and 2 of the Grease Seal - Double Lip - ID 1.719" / OD 2.565" - for 3,500-lb Axles - Qty 2 # RG06-050.
Then you will need the tandem brake lines, and I recommend the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle - 20' # 20TA-BLKIT. For a surge brake actuator, I recommend the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Disc - Multi-Fit Ball - Bolt On - 6,000 lbs # T4747900 for a 2 inch hitch ball. For a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball, I recommend the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Disc - 2-5/16" Ball - Bolt On - 8,000 lbs # T4747200.
For an Electric over Hydraulic actuator for this system, I recommend the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16.
