There is a difference between the two 3,500 lb 10-inch hydraulic brake assemblies you referenced, which is that one has a dacromet coating for better resistance to corrosion. Dacromet is an adhesive coating that gives added protection against corrosion so they are optimal for a boat trailer.
- Dacromet Coating: Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Dacromet # AKUBRK-35-D
- Non-Dacromet: Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit - Uni-Servo # AKUBRK-35
These are otherwise the same hydraulic brakes with a 3,500 lb capacity, 14" and 15" wheels, and fit a 4-bolt mounting flange.
Both brake assemblies are manually adjusting so you'll need Brake Adjustment Spoon # W80630, and to mount them you will need the Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10B.
