Question:
Are all your bearings same size. Like one set fits all trailers . I have a 16 foot boat on one and I’m tring to figure out beating size . Thanks

Expert Reply:
We have several different size bearings available since not every trailer uses the same bearings. There are actually several different options since there is quite a bit of variety.
The only two solution I have for you to determine what you need would be to remove the hubs and get the numbers that are stamped on the bearing or for you to remove the hubs and use a digital or dial caliper to measure where the bearings and seal ride (see pic).
With that info I can help you figure out what you need. I attached a link down below that shows all of the bearings we offer as well.
