To determine what size Bearing Buddy Protector you need for your boat trailer, you will want to measure the diameter of the hub bore. I recommend using a digital caliper like # PTW80157, as this measurement needs to be as exact as possible.
We do have Bearing Buddy Protectors available for hub bores between the two sizes you have already tried. I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection. You can click on the hub bore diameter you have on the left side of this page to get the available protectors that will fit.
