How to Determine Correct Bearing Buddy to Use on Yacht Club Boat Trailer
Question:
What size buddy bearing do I need for a Yacht Club boat trailer?
asked by: Craig
Expert Reply:
Trailer manufacturers don't typically keep a good record of this type of information on their trailers, so unfortunately I am unable to locate what size Bearing Buddy will work on the hubs for your Yacht Club Boat Trailer. In order to determine the correct size to use, you will need to take a quick measurement on your existing hubs. Using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 (the measurement needs to be exact), you will just need to measure the inside diameter of the hub bore.
For example, the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS are designed to fit a 1.980 inch hub bore.
If you happen to know the outer bearing number that is used on your hub, we can also use this information to recommend the correct Bearing Buddy product, as we can refer to the outer diameter of the race that is compatible with the bearing.
I have attached a link that will take you directly to our selection of Bearing Buddy products that you can look through. You can filter through the different hub bore diameters they are designed to fit by using the facets on the left side of the page.
