Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use

This trailer hub assembly has a zinc coating that resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All GAL-DEX hubs undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5-percent salt solution to determine corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to the saltwater mist. This 500-hour salt spray rating indicates that a product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments, but it can also be used on trailers that come into contact with saltwater.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.


Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)


Bolt Pattern Side

Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Galvanized idler hub assembly is great for marine use. Trailer hub fits 2,200-lb idler axles with BTR spindles. Inner bearing (L44649) and race, outer bearing (L44649) and race, grease seal, grease cap, and galvanized lug nuts included.

by:

Worked just fine, like everything else I have bought from you folks. Your product knowledge when needed is always helpful too.



by:

I have not yet installed them but have unpacked and took measurements. The only issue I have is the grease seal ID is .25 to large but that is most likely my fault during the order, I have the right size grease seals coming.
The hub is solid and the bearings fit real nice, no slop. This is for a boat trailer which goes back and forth to a very rural camp so it gets bounced around a lot, time will tell how these hold up. The original hub and bearings are ok and will be my field spare should I need it, slip one hub off and the other on, tighten and go. I like the stud with lug nut to hold the rim rather than original bolt into the hub, easier for tire mounting and I can put a locking lug nut on as well, personal preference.
This seemed to be the most cost effective means, all one package, just watch the size of the individual parts to make sure you get all the parts the correct size.
etrailer.com packed the parts well, nothing flopping around or damaged.

No complaints, now the dirty part, replacing the old with new.

Still on the trailer and working out well. I have put some hard miles on them and they seem to be holding up. Just shot some grease in them before the next trip.



by:

Just what I needed to replace the original worn out hubs on my small trailer. Parts arrived quickly in great condition and were a direct replacement. These hubs are actually better than the original hubs, they are galvanized not painted and will better protect from rusting, they also came with 1/2-20 threaded studs compared with threaded bolts on the original hubs. The idler hubs also came with all the required components to repair my small trailer.



by:

These are very well constructed and etrailer does a good job at putting together a kit that contains everything you need. You will have to keep though your old washer, nut, and pin.
Make sure you are ordering not only the right size of bearings, but also the grease seal. Some not-so-standard hubs have mismatched seal sizes. Measure your spindle and your seal seat. If your spindle is larger in diameter than the 1” (1.058”) this is the right kit for you. But also measure your seal seat. This kit shipped with a seal that fits a seat that’s 1.5” in diameter. If
Yours is closer to 1 ¼” you are going to need a different seal. etrailer quickly rushed out those for me!



by:

I received my hubs last week, shipping was nice and fast, and I installed them over the weekend. Kits were complete and everything fit perfectly. The only negative comment I would make is that the hubs do not look like they do in the video or picture. Instead of a "round" shape hub, they are a "star" shape hub, which made me think I had received the wrong ones. Once I pulled off my old ones and checked all the measurements I realized the difference between the two was purely cosmetic.

Very happy!



by:

Order was reprocessed to be returned to sender because the wrong street was on the box. I had to go and make calls after calls to finally sto the return
When I called the guy on etrailers end was so rude on the phone telling me sure uts 3:30 in the afternoon I do t have time for this it's time for me to go hom and then hung up.

Bought new hubs/bearings for my Shorelandr boat trailer. Ricky in customer service was most patient helping me pick the proper parts. Got the hubs Monday am, installed them Monday afternoon, piece of cake!

Fit perfectly, only had to buy a set of grease seals as my Hobie trailer had smaller hubs (1 1/4 vs the 1 1/2") that would not be compatible with the grease seals provided

  • Replacement Hub Recommendation for 2,200 lb Motorcycle Trailer Axle with 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern
    Thanks for all of the info! From the information you gave me it sounds like you're needing the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,200-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-259-50UC1, but I do recommend pulling your hub and checking the part numbers on the bearings and seal or measuring the spindle where the bearings and seal ride to make sure it fits. Here are the bearings and seal used for this hub: Inner and outer bearings - L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) Grease seal - 10-9 (1.5" inner diameter...

  • Recommended 2200 lb Hubs For 12 Inch Wheels
    On your boat trailer with 12 inch wheels, if you want to install 2200 lb hubs that show a 13-15 inch wheel capacity, your ride may be effected or you may have difficulty installing the wheels as the face of the hub is sized differently. I recommend using 2200 lb hubs that are a fit for your 12 inch wheels like the Trailer Hub for 2,000-lb and 2,200-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - 8" - 12" Wheels - Galvanized # 8-259-50 or # 8-259-50UC1-EZ for an EZ Lube axle.

  • Where To Find Numbers For Replacement Bearings On Utility Trailer
    Since the axle you have is a Dexter Model 8259 you can choose one of the hub assemblies we offer from the attached product page. If you have an EZ-Lube axle on your trailer you may want to check out part # 8-259-5UC1-EZ, or part # 8-259-50UC1-EZ. If you do not have an EZ-Lube axle take a look at part # 8-259-5UC1 or part # 8-259-50UC1. I have attached links to some product review videos for these kits you can take a look at.

  • What is the Torque Rating for the Castle Nut to Hold on Trailer Idler Hub # 8-259-50UC1-EZ
    I checked with Dexter and on light duty hubs such as # 8-259-50UC1-EZ they recommend the castle nut be tightened to 50 foot pounds. If that makes it too tight then back off the nut some until it is no longer overly tight and the hub can be spun by hand.

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Hub for a Boat Trailer
    In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. We already know your is 5 on 4-1/2 inch. Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed...

  • Looking for Replacement Hubs for Boat Trailer with 1.06 Inch Diameter Spindles
    Since you successfully measured your spindles, it sounds like you might have a digital caliper lying around somewhere. Measure the hub bore (inside diameter of hub where grease cap sits). If this diameter is 1.98 inches, your existing bearings are # L44649, in which case the # 8-258-5UC1 hub you referenced would indeed be a correct replacement. Since the hubs are going on a boat trailer, I'd recommend you use galvanized hubs like part # 8-259-50UC1. The hubs are identical to the ones you...

  • Hubs for 13 Inch Tire with 5-1/2 Hub Flange Diameter
    I spoke with an engineer from our hub manufacturer, Dexter, and they do not recommend using a hub for 8-12 inch wheels with a 13 inch wheel. However, they said that they do not make a hub for 13 inch wheels that has a hub flange diameter of smaller than 6-1/2 inches. The best option that we can recommend is to replace your wheels to fit the hubs we offer. The hub designed for smaller tires with a smaller hub flange will technically fit but, there may be no warranty support if something...

    Based on the information I was able to find for your 2008 Floe Versa Max snowmobile trailer it looks like it uses the # L44649 Bearings, and Seal 151972KBN. This will allow you to replace the hubs with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-50UC1 as long as your axles have not been modified or replaced from the time they left the factory.

  • Replacement Hub for Lippert 2,200 lb Trailer Axle
    Thanks for the info you listed for your Lippert axle. Based on that I can tell you have a 2,200 lb trailer axle that has hubs that have a wheel bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches so for a hub you'd want the Dexter part # 8-259-50UC1. Dexter hubs fit on Lippert axles and are widely considered to be the best made hubs. If you wanted just a bearing kit you would want the part # BK1-150. The hub I mentioned does come with bearings.

  • Can The Capacity Of An Axle Be Determined By Looking At The Hubs?
    Though it is sometimes possible to identify an axle's capacity based of the hub, it is not always 100% accurate. Due to this, I tell people to not rely on just this alone. As a quick example, if you look at the Dexter Hub # 8-259-50BTUC1 and # 8-259-50UC1-EZ, they will both use the exact same 8-259 hub. However, the # 8-259-50BTUC1 will use the # L44643 inner and outer bearing and is rated for use on a 2,000 pound axle. The # 8-259-50UC1-EZ will use the # L44649 inner and outer bearing...

    Judging by your photo, your trailer would use an idler hub, not a hub drum. Assuming you have 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle wheels that use an # L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing, you have a few choices. Rather than the painted hub, I'd recommend going with a galvanized hub for greater corrosion resistance. Dexter hubs are manufactured in the US, which is what I'd recommend. For an 8, 10 or a 12 inch wheel, use # 8-259-50UC1 for a standard spindle or # 8-259-50UC1-EZ for the EZ Lube...

A galvanized version isn't offered, but there's one available in a 5 lug on 4-1/2 bolt circle, part # 8-259-50UC1 for 8-12 inch wheels or # 8-258-50UC1 for 13-15 inch wheels.
