How to Read Hub-Face and Spring-Center Measurements on CE Smith Boat Trailer Axle

Question:

Gday Etrailer I was wondering if you could help me with the hub face to hub face measurement for this axle. I know its a CE Smith Axle 47 SC 58.59 H w/o # from the sticker and appears to be very similar to their 62 inch model their website. Thank you for your help and great website

G'day Dan,

Thank you for the photo of the axle on your Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535.

The numbers you're wanting to note are the hub-face and spring-center measurements which look like they are 58.59 and 47 respectively. This means the CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam # CE33201GA that has 57-1/2" hub-face and 46-1/2" spring-center measurements will be ever so slightly different than what you currently have. Will it work? Possibly, but I recommend getting an axle with the exact dimensions that you have just to be on the safe side of things. We unfortunately don't carry one with these numbers so you'll want to reach out to CE Smith or your local trailer shop for an exact replacement.
