The kit uses a ceramic friction lining bonded to a Dacromet-coated backing plate, which resists corrosion in the wet, road-salt, and boat-launch conditions trailer brakes are routinely exposed to. Each kit contains two inner pads and two outer pads, providing a complete pad set to service one axle. The pads are designed to work with Kodiak DBC-250-E and DBC-250-DAC caliper assemblies, making this kit the correct replacement choice when relining calipers on a heavy-duty boat or utility trailer axle. Ceramic friction material is chosen for disc brake pad kits like this one because it produces less brake dust and wears more gradually than standard semi-metallic compounds, while still delivering consistent stopping power under repeated trailer braking cycles (launching and retrieving a boat, stop-and-go towing, or emergency stops on the road). Because trailer axles typically use one pad kit per axle, most tandem-axle trailers require two kits, one for each axle, to complete a full brake job. This kit is sold as a direct fit for the 7000-8000 lb Kodiak disc brake platform and is not interchangeable with pad kits built for lighter-duty 3500-6000 lb axle assemblies, which use a different part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kodiak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K71-DBC-250-PAD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Equivalent Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e DBC-250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic Friction Lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Plate Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dacromet Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Inner Pads, 2 Outer Pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxle Weight Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7000-8000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Brake Assembly Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Calipers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kodiak DBC-250-E, DBC-250-DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxle Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Services 1 axle per kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Service Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Trailer, Trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840327600619\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7000-8000 lb trailer axles equipped with Kodiak 13 inch disc brake assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse with Kodiak DBC-250-E or DBC-250-DAC caliper assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDBC-250\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat axles does the K71-DBC-250-PAD pad kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-DBC-250-PAD kit fits trailer axles rated 7000-8000 lb that are equipped with Kodiak 13 inch disc brake assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs DBC-250 the same as K71-DBC-250-PAD?\u003c\/strong\u003e DBC-250 is the OEM equivalent part number for this kit, so K71-DBC-250-PAD is the correct replacement kit when a Kodiak DBC-250 caliper assembly needs new pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pads come in this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each K71-DBC-250-PAD kit includes 2 inner pads and 2 outer pads, enough to service one axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need one kit or two for a tandem-axle trailer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Since one K71-DBC-250-PAD kit services a single axle, a tandem-axle trailer with two axles requires two kits to complete the brake job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat caliper assemblies is this pad kit designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is designed for use with Kodiak DBC-250-E or DBC-250-DAC caliper assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the friction material made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-DBC-250-PAD kit uses a ceramic friction lining, chosen for lower dust and longer wear life compared to standard friction compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the backing plate coating on these pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e The backing plate on the K71-DBC-250-PAD pads is Dacromet coated for corrosion resistance in wet trailering environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this pad kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-DBC-250-PAD kit weighs 3.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this kit work on a lighter-duty 3500-6000 lb axle?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the K71-DBC-250-PAD kit is built for the 7000-8000 lb axle platform; lighter-duty 3500-6000 lb axles use a different pad kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of trailer is this pad kit intended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is intended for boat trailers and utility trailers using Kodiak disc brake assemblies rated for 7000-8000 lb axles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991264866523,"sku":"DEX-K71-DBC-250-PAD","price":73.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Kodiak-8000lbs-E-Coat-Ceramic-Disc-Brake-Pads-Dexter-K71-DBC-250-PAD__50918.1747363795.500.750.jpg?v=1785188490","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/kodiak-dbc-250-ceramic-disc-brake-pad-kit-7k-8k-trailer-axles-13-disc-brakes-2-inner-2-outer-one-axle-set","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
