According to my research, your trailer will have a 3500 lb axle on it. The replacement for your TDE 11033 hubs should be # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K, which use an L68149 inner and an L44649 outer wheel bearing along with a 58846 grease seal that has a 2.565 OD and an ID of 1.719. The hub has a 5-on-4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

You'll want to check the bearings your existing hub uses, along with the diameter of the inside hub bore and the surface of the spindle where the grease seal rides to ensure the bearing sets and seal dimensions for the part mentioned above are compatible because sometimes boat trailer manufacturers will make some oddball proprietary stuff, so you're stuck getting it from the manufacturer.

If the above specs don't match up, if you could reply with the inner/outer bearing and the OD of the hub bore and the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal rides, as well as the hub wheel bolt pattern, I'd be happy to look into it further for you.
