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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K71-034-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel Protector \u0026amp; Bra Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxle Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1K - 3.5K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 545\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Bore:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.980 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 876983008230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Trailer Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dexter K71-034-00 Protector \u0026amp; Bra Kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a stainless steel cover kit that protects the brake assembly on a boat trailer axle from water, salt, and road debris exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat axle rating does this kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-034-00 is sized for 2.1K to 3.5K rated boat trailer axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hub size is this protector kit designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is built for a 545 hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat outer bore size does the K71-034-00 kit require?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 1.980 inch outer bore is required for proper fit with this Dexter kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Dexter K71-034-00 kit made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion from saltwater and road exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Dexter K71-034-00 Protector \u0026amp; Bra Kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this kit fit any boat trailer hub?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the K71-034-00 is specific to a 545 hub with a 1.980 inch outer bore and a 2.1K-3.5K axle rating, so it should be matched against those specifications before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a stainless steel protector kit over a standard cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion better than painted or bare steel, which matters for boat trailer brake components that are regularly submerged in water and exposed to salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Dexter K71-034-00 include mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit is sold as the stainless steel protector and bra components sized for the 2.1K-3.5K, 545 hub, 1.980 inch outer bore application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Dexter K71-034-00 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this Dexter Stainless Steel Protector \u0026amp; Bra Kit is 876983008230.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991262769371,"sku":"DEX-K71-034-00","price":83.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dexter-3500lbs-5-lug-4.5-inch-hub-trailer-buddy-protector-with-bra-k71-034-00__52829.1747363799.500.750.jpg?v=1785329092","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/stainless-steel-disc-brake-caliper-protector-bra-kit-fits-2-1k-to-3-5k-trailer-axles-1-980in-outer-bore-k71-034-00","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
