Stainless Steel Disc Brake Kit Solution for 3,500 lb Axle of Single Axle Boat Trailer
Question:
I just bought a Boston Whaler Dauntless 16 that comes with a Rocket 1835 aluminum trailer. For the weight being towed, my tow vehicle manufacturer requires trailer brakes. I was thinking of surge brakes with stainless disks and a flush kit. I operate in brack and salt water. Im good about washing down. What setup do you recommend? I have included photos of the trailer axle and tongue. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
For a surge coupler replacement that would work well on your Rocket 1835 trailer the Dexter part # DX63FR would be a really great option. Then for a stainless slip-on disc brake kit the part # K2R35S would be a great option as well.
The only thing else you'd need is a disc brake kit like the part # 18SI-BLKIT which is a flexible hose line kit so it's easier to install.
