Why Tidewater Tidewater Trailers
Changing The Way People View Boat Trailers
Tidewater is proud to be the only local boat trailer manufacturer to offer Kodiak Disc Brakes with limited Lifetime Warranted Ceramic Pads as standard!
* Exceeds CSA-D313 requirements per independent test (the only recognized brake test).
* Proven design. Twenty years in automotive and twelve years in the trailer industry.
* KODIAK USES ONLY CAST IRON CALIPERS. Cast iron calipers remain rigid and do not flex like aluminum as hydraulic pressure is being applied. More flex equals less torque. With aluminum, to get near the strength of steel, you are forced to put more mass on the casting to prevent deflection problems. By doing this, you are sacrificing stability and longevity. While at first glance aluminum calipers may appear to be cheaper, remember sometimes you get exactly what you pay for.
* The Only All Stainless Steel Piston (30% larger than the competition) for more torque and shorter stopping distance.
* Assembled in the USA with 100% HI/LO Pressure Test.
* Self-adjusting calipers (no brake tools or labor).
* Fewer moving parts mean fewer maintenance headaches.

Disc Brakes Are Standard on All Trailers Over 3000# GVW
We consider this a safety issue that cannot be ignored. Dealers are required to sell trailers that comply with the brake laws of the state where the trailer will be registered. It is our sincere hope that by providing them as standard on all axles on trailers with brakes you will take the time to consider not only the importance of obeying the law, but more importantly that the savings of a few dollars is not worth the risk to yourself, your family, or others on the road. For those of you in states where the brake laws vary we provide delete options that can be selected by your dealer. For the safety of our customers, regardless of the brake law of a particular state, Tidewater Trailers will not manufacture any trailer without brakes in excess of 3100# carrying capacity. While others talk, Tidewater Trailers leads the industry in this regard.
