Flexible Rubber Brake Hoses
Kodiak brake hoses are made of rubber, making them a practical choice for a variety of applications. Because you can easily bend them, rubber hoses are simpler to work with than rigid stainless steel brake lines. This flexibility makes rubber hoses great for use with foldaway trailer tongues because they are less likely to kink or break when bent. In addition, rubber hoses allow for a wide range of motion so articulating parts can effectively function. These qualities make rubber hoses better suited than steel lines for trailers with torsion axle suspension systems and trailers that have disc brakes.
Stainless steel brake lines have braided exteriors, which can not only wear against exterior surfaces, but also against the interior lining of the hose if dirt gets underneath the steel braid. And if the braid on a stainless steel line tears, it can cut into the hose lining. The exterior surface of these hoses is solid rubber, so there are no crevices for debris to enter.
Durable Fittings with Deep Threads
Kodiak brake hoses have corrosion-resistant brass fittings with stainless steel flares. These fittings have a gap built into them that allows room for a line wrench - also called a flare nut wrench - to slide over the line and down to the nut. This type of wrench grips the nut better than a standard open-ended wrench so there is less chance of stripping the threads as you tighten down the nut.
The stainless steel that is used to create the flares on these hoses is stronger than brass. As a result, these fittings are more durable than ones made entirely of brass. The stainless flares are primarily designed to keep the fittings from splitting when you tighten them down, but they offer absolute rust protection as well.
Kodiak's fittings have deeper threads than many other fittings on the market to provide a higher thread engagement. Deeper threads offer an advantage when used with fittings that have the same thread depth. These Kodiak fittings will work with most fittings on the market, but when they're used with other Kodiak fittings, the result is a stronger connection with fewer leaks.

I purchased the product after research of what I needed for my boat trailer. There product was great quality,great fitting and I couldn't be happier.
Everything is working great. All hoses and connections were the exact lengths needed. Now I have good brakes on my trailer.
Pretty good so far. After 2 years, not a single issue. Just a rash rust from water. But WD40 or other oils That I use helps preventing excessive rust.
Who knows where my flaring tool went for running hardlines...but doesn't matter with this kit.
Yes, you may have to figure how to deal with some slack but you can't have everything.
I threw a loop that fit in my frame rail to take up the slack in a line and...voila!
So far been great in a harsh saltwater environment. I just rinse with freshwater after every trip
Great company to do business with. They always have everything we need for our business and their shipping quickness is fantastic, usually get our order within 2 days
I was replacing steel brake lines that rusted and fell apart. These flexible brakes lines were very easy to run and the connections made it easy to install.
I ordered this kit to replace my boat trailer brake lines that have aged. I was unable to find flexible lines locally. The hoses appear to be very well made. The double flared ends are not only stainless, but low carbon stainless because there is no attraction to a magnet. The mfg date is also printed on each hose, so you can be sure you are not getting hoses that have been setting on a shelf for years. It was shipped quickly and arrived quickly even with economy shipping. George kept me informed of the package progress and sent a followup email when notification was received that it had been delivered.
Excellent everything was there & it all fit & works perfectly great product
Great. East to install. Was perfect for my 22’ boat’s tandem axle trailer.
Nice set of replacement brake hoses. A must have to any trailer with hydraulic brakes.
The brake lines arrived in a timely manner. They are robust in construction and fit together easily. I am very pleased with Etrailer and will remain a loyal customer!
Bought these as spares, have not installed yet….but have to be easier to install than the steel lines!
Easy install. Would recommend a bleeding kit to properly bleed brake lines.
Here are my pics of my trailer brake system refurbishment.
Well, I’m pretty sure the consensus here would be to totally replace this Titan model 60 brake master cylinder that is in a friend’s boat trailer. I already ordered the new master cylinder from etrailer and about to install it. This old master cylinder is nothing more than a lack of proper maintenance. As a result, I am replacing EVERYTHING from this point and back to the calipers, including NEW CALIPERS and NEW BRAKE LINES . Proper maintenance would have totally alleviated this issue (and it is not my friend’s fault whatsoever because he just recently purchased this boat and trailer). I will post a pic of the install once finished. God Bless.
the kodiak brake line kit was as expected nice to run with good brake fittings, a lot better than bending metal brake lines and flaring ends, the hard part was bleeding them. had to purchase a 60 dollar brake bleeding kit and get good help.with a brand new actuator and lines and brakes lots of hard work bleeding brakes.
Very easy to install. I went from no brakes to great breaks. The only thing I had to do was add a brake flange to my all aluminum axle. I made the flanges from 1/4 6x6 aluminum plates. Then took my axle off the trailer. I assembled the hubs and disc on the axle. This put everything inline for welding. Then took it to a weld shop and had the franges welded to the axle. Put it back on trailer hooked up the brake line. Blead the lines and all good.

After a year I have many trips on my new brake setup. Still works well.
I am reviewing the components and etrailer as they are not installed yet. Online ordering was easy - I was contacted immediately with shipping time and tracking numbers - it all went really well. The components showed up on time and in good condition. The boxes were a little hammered but UPS does that. Thanks etrailer good service - good prices: what else do you want?

Really well! If one uses some kind of salt rinse the components remain free of corrosion and looking good. Everything assembled as it should and worked flawless from the start. The brakes are rock solid and do a great job of stopping my 3800# boat and trailer. I use the Dexter ElectHyd unit with the Direct link brake controller and it performs beyond my expectations...
Parts were good if I got em all the first time but they left out a brake line (part of a kit) left out lug nuts (part of another kit) got damaged wheel bearings cause the way they package em and a damaged seal for the same reason the way they handled it on the phone was alright after waiting a week for original order it took another week to get the parts they forgot and I received damaged (didn’t include new bearings ) then they sent the wrong size lug nuts ????

I am sorry to hear that the reship did not correct the problem. I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to address this and get it corrected. They should be reaching out to you here shortly.
I own a 25-year-old dual axle flatbed trailer that I use to haul a car behind my motorhome. It had surge brakes when I purchased it. Perhaps not unexpected, the brakes and the actuator rusted and needed to be replaced. The website of etrailer provided exactly the solution I needed; actuators, brake assemblies and hydraulic lines. Each were as advertised and the replacement was straightforward. I anticipate that I am in a good place for another 25 years of service from this trailer. I recommend etrailer without reservation.
The Installation was easy. Everything fit perfectly and the brakes are working well. I only wish I had made the conversion from drum brakes years earlier.

Still great - no problems
Product was easy to assemble. I had ordered this after I had ordered a 15ft kit ….too short. The one issue was that the short brake line in this kit came with a female coupling on one end. Luckily I had a previous order that contained a male coupling on both ends. I did not drill holes in the trailer to mount the lines as holes provide starting points for corrosion. I used large zip strips with hose mounting clips….worked great. I also shrouded line with rubber hose where I thought there could be wear.
The product was exactly as described and arrived in perfect condition. Etrailer.com will continue being my number one source for my boat trailer's parts. Almost every part I have replaced or added has been from etrailer.com. Not only do they stock everything I have ever needed but their people are so helpful that you have confidence in ordering the right parts for the job. Nothing more, nothing less.
Replaced all the steel and rubber lines on my boat trailer. Perfect! Couldn't ask for better.

I sold the trailer after rebuilding it cause I ended up selling my boat without the trailer. The fellow that bought it said the brakes were fine for the trip home but he never put his boat on the trailer. So I can’t really say anything else about the product.
