Expert Reply:
The best way to find the correct wheel bearings that would need for your 1996 Load Right boat trailer is to pull off a wheel and hub off of your trailer and locate the numbers on your wheel bearing.
When you find the bearing number you can check the attached link below and match the correct bearings to your current axle bearings.
Sometimes the bearings will not have numbers or the numbers are worn off, if that is the case you will have to measure the inside diameter of the bearings and the seal. I recommend using the Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to find the inner diameter of both the bearings and the seal on your trailer's axle.
I attached a few pictures below to help find the correct parts.
