Helpful Expert Reply:
When upgrading your axle on your single axle boat trailer, I recommend The Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 86-1/2 inch - 6K # 8327826-EB. It is not recommended to put a higher capacity spindle on a lighter rated axle.
The Dexter axle # 8327826-EB comes with everything you need including the brakes, the hubs and drums, and all the bearings and races. The axle has an underslung design and was made in the USA. You may also need to relocate the springs to get it to work properly. The Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb to 7,200-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 3 inch Diameter # TRSS300 will work.
