Can Electric Brakes be Used for Boat Trailers
Question:
I was wondering if there was any problems with running electric brakes on a boat trailer? Is there one brand that would be better to go with as far as corrosion resistance? 10 assemblies. Thank you. ..

This is a really good question, and while it may seem like electric brakes on a boat trailer would be a terrible idea, it actually works really well and there aren't shorts or issues using them. All of the brands would work well with boat trailer applications including the Dexter setup part # K23-086-087-00 that you referenced.
