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"

Video Transcript for Dexter Axle Trailer Hubs and Drums - Hub - 8-213-51UC1 Review

Today we're going to review part number 8-213-51UC1. This is the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly for 6000-pound axles. It has the 6 on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern and the GAL-DEX finish on it. This marine gray trailer hub assembly will fit on idler axles. It includes everything shown on the table here, both the inner and outer bearing are included. The hub assembly right here is included. Now the bearing races are actually pre-installed.

There's the outer bearing race. There's the inner bearing race. It also includes the grease seal, the grease cap and six of the 1/2-inch lug nuts. This trailer hub assembly has a zinc GAL-DEX coating on it which will resist corrosion. It makes it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All of the GAL-DEX hubs undergo a test in which they're sprayed with a 5% salt solution to determine the corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to that salt water mist so this 500-hour salt spray rating will indicate that the product's not only durable enough to last in fresh water environments but it can also be used on trailers that are used in salt water environments. Again, the application on this is 6000-pound axles.

The bolt pattern, again, is 6 on 5-1/2-inches. The wheel stud diameter is 1/2 inch so they included 1/2-inch lug nuts that will used to hold your wheels and tires to this hub. Now the weight capacity on this hub assembly is 3000 pounds. When this is used with one on the other side of the axle, it'll meet your 6000-pound weight capacity for that axle. Now, again, everything shown here is included. That should do it for the review on part number 8-213-51UC1, the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly for the 6000-pound axles with the 6 on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern.

All the customer personal were great but got one of hubs the was not sealed like the other 3, the race was rusted and bearing bent . Also the seals were incorrect. Paula S have me the part number for the seals and race so I could get them locally. I’m driving to Weast coast with this trailer tomorrow so no time to wait for etrailer to ship replacement parts



by:

Very pleased, easy to install, great qu ality.



by:

One year and no problems.



by:

The product is exactly what it claims to be. Simple and complete. Just pack the bearings, clean off the axle and assemble. With a boat that goes in salt water, I end up replacing these every few years along with the suspension assembly. Easy job.



by:

This is the exact replacement part I needed for my boat trailer that was delivered in a very economical and fast.



by:

The hubs were mostly good. A couple of the races had spots of surface rusting that needed attention before install. The packaging had no weather protection from moisture.



by:

A quality product at a competitive price. Have yet to install but anticipate things will go smoothly

  • Dexter Axle Hub Conversion for 14.5 Inch or 15 Inch Wheels on Equipment Trailer
    Thanks for the information on your trailer. For your axle with brakes I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K if you have the spindles with the integrated grease zerk. If you have standard spindles, I recommend # AKHD-655-6-K which have the standard grease cap instead. These assemblies will fit perfectly with your axles based on the bearing and seal information you gave as well as 14.5 inch wheels. Then...

  • Which 6 Lug Trailer Hub Does Best in Saltwater Application
    Since the # AKIHUB-655-6-K is just painted steel it would not be my first choice for a saltwater application as it would pretty quickly start to corrode. The absolute best option would stainless steel like the Kodiak part # KH42655S as stainless steel won't corrode. Next best option would be the galvanized part # 8-213-51UC1 which won't be as resistant to corrosion as stainless but would do a much better job than just paint as it's a zinc coated steel which does a pretty decent job with...
