Key Features:

• Complete ready-to-install electric brake assembly with backing plate, brake shoes, magnets, actuating lever, adjusting screw, and spring hardware
• 12" x 2" brake shoe size for compatibility with standard 12-inch brake drums
• Right-hand configuration for passenger side mounting
• Manual shoe adjustment design allows fine-tuning via brake controller
• 5-hole mounting flange accepts standard 3/8" bolts (mounting hardware not included)
• Non-polarized black wire magnet for electromagnetic actuation
• Fits wheel sizes from 14.5 to 16 inches

This assembly mounts to a 5-hole axle brake flange and requires a brake controller for operation. The electric brake system offers more responsive control compared to hydraulic systems, with minimal lag time from brake pedal actuation to trailer brake engagement. Includes brake assembly (023-181-00) and installation instructions. Not suitable for marine applications despite the "Marine Products" brand designation.
