Picking Out Replacement Hub for Nitro Boat Trailer

Question:

I have a nitro boat trailer 2012 that has Vortex bear hubs on it. I am going on a 500 mile trip and I want to take a complete hub assy with me in case my bearings fail and I can change it out on the road by just replacing the complete hub with bearing etc. I can not find out what I need to order to get what I need. Number 416210 is cast into the hub. Can you help? Thanks

In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information as we don't have a way to pull up what your trailer would have. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.

Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed are the parts of the spindle where the bearings ride.

If you get back to me with that information I will help you pick out the right hub assemblies. Or, you can follow the link I attached that will take you to the page that has all of our replacement hubs.

You would want to first select the bolt pattern that you have, next select the inner bearing you have, followed by selecting your outer bearing, and then all the correct hubs will be listed.
