Sorry, been busy. The tiedown's biggest problem from what I've seen with my own eyes are their calipers and the mounting brackets. I see mess of these brakes as they are on most new trailers now. I work in a large waterfront community. So many people launch in the spring and park the trailer till fall. Many of them return to seized calipers.
I went with the S-Cad Kodiaks, and they still look new after 50 or so cycles. 'Slot

I'm not a big fan of brakes for a boat of that size but I have never really had a time where I had to slam on the brakes. Sense the boat is not that big could you just add brakes to the two front tires on each side and not all four?

Most all just have brakes on the front axle.

That was my next question, which axle ta put em on. I guess the weight transfer to the front makes putting em on the front axle the preferred choise. Iv gotta order a new master cylinder for my DICO coupler and I'll go with the Kodiak disc for the front axle. Thanks for all the information. Its really helped me alot!!

Well I finally ordered a pair of Kodiak SCAD disc brakes for my trailer monday. I got them today, talk about fast these folks are on time.I ordered them from Custom Hitch & Trailer out of Naples Florida. I got hubs with rotors, calipers,ceramic pads, all the wheel brgs and seals and mounting bolts,even got lug nuts for $199.95. Looks like a hell of a deal ta me! Also ordered a reverse lockout solenoid to go behind the acuator for $29.95. Now I gotta take time to mount em up and Ill be ready!

Sounds like a great deal!! Compared to other prices I have heard of.
But I just did all my hubs and bearings and riped all the breaks out!! I hate to deal with them they always messing up! Good Luck!

My trailer has the Kodiak brakes. Have worked great. Excellent stopping power but I've got them on both axles and my boat's heavier than a V20. Have had no problems yet. Trailer was made in 04 and has been from florida to arizona then back to Texas where I've pulled it about 1000 miles so far. Gonna hate giving up the aluminum framed, torsion axled, disc braked trailer when I move to the next boat.
