Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # DM5426 for Use on 1993 Calkins Trailer in a Marine Environment

Question:

I am replacing seals, drum brakes DEMCO 42028/42029 on a marine trailer. The replacement brake I am looking to purchase are galvanized as I launch my boat in salt water. I am also replacing the brake lines. I am looking for more corrosion resistance than the steel brake lines kits you sell. Are these coated?

I have confirmed with my contacts at Demco, that the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # DM5426 is coated with a galvanized finish. With the additional galvanized finish, it provides the additional corrosion resistance that you are looking for compared to steel brake lines.

This brake line kit is also 3/16 of an inch in diameter, and is designed for use on single axle trailers. This kit includes lines and fittings needed to run brake fluid from your surge brake actuator to the trailer brakes.

I have included a link to the parts referenced above, and a couple of short demonstration videos for your reference.
