Dexter Stainless Steel Trailer Brake Protector and Bra Kit, 7000 lb, 2.717 Inch Outer Bore - K71-031-00

The Dexter Stainless Steel Protector and Bra Kit (K71-031-00) is a protective cover kit built for 7000 lb boat trailer brake assemblies with a 2.717 inch outer bore. It is designed to shield the brake caliper and hub area from road spray, salt water, mud, and general debris, helping to slow corrosion on exposed brake hardware -- a common failure point on boat trailers that are regularly launched and retrieved in wet or salt-water environments.

The kit is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and includes a fitted bra-style cover that wraps the protected components. It ships as a single kit (package quantity of 1) sized for direct fit on Dexter 7000 lb, 2.717 inch outer bore brake hardware carrying the 865 designation. Because it is stainless steel rather than painted or plated carbon steel, it resists rust and pitting better over repeated exposure to salt water compared to unprotected hardware.

This protector kit is intended for boat trailer owners who want to extend the service life of their brake components between inspections, particularly on trailers used for saltwater launching.
