Question

Question:

I have an old ShoreLandr boat trailer that needs new bearing protectors. Ive tried ordering a set of two not from you and the diameter is correct but they are only 1 3/4inch deep and I need 2inch depth to fit on my axle. What is the depth on your Buddy Bearing 1781SS?

We do have the CE Smith Bearing Protectors # CE16270 which are 2" in overall length. The CE Smith has a 3/8" recess flange.
