Dexter Stainless Steel Protector & Bra Kit, 2.1K-3.5K Axle, 545 Hub, 1.980 Inch Outer Bore, K71-034-00

The Dexter K71-034-00 Stainless Steel Protector & Bra Kit shields the brake assembly on 2.1K-3.5K boat trailer axles from corrosion and road debris. Built for trailers using the 545 hub with a 1.980 inch outer bore, the kit is made from stainless steel so it resists the corrosive effects of saltwater and road spray that quickly degrade painted or bare steel components. Boat trailer brakes sit close to the ground and are routinely splashed with water, salt, sand, and grit during launch and retrieval, and this protector/bra kit is designed to guard the brake components from that direct exposure, helping extend the service life of the brake hardware underneath.

This kit is sized specifically for the 2.1K-3.5K axle rating with a 545 hub and 1.980 inch outer bore, so it is intended for trailers matching that hub and bore specification. Because the kit is stainless steel rather than a coated or painted alternative, it holds up to repeated dunking and drying cycles without the finish chipping or rusting through over time, which is a common failure point for boat trailer components used in saltwater.
