When choosing a replacement boat fender you want to do your best to match the dimensions of the new fender to your old one. Most of the time you aren't going to find a perfect match. We don't have a fender available that has those exact dimensions, but we do have some that are close. Please see the following options:

-Single Axle Trailer Fender w Top Step # F008551 (21-1/2" long x 7.35" wide x x 6.5" tall)
-CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fenders # CE19501-2 (20-5/8" long x 7" wide x 6" tall)
-CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fender # CE17720 (22-1/2" long x 7" wide x 8-1/4" tall)
-Fulton Single Axle Trailer Fender # F008550 (20-1/4" long x 7" wide x 6-1/4" tall)
-CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fender # CE17700G (20" long x 7" wide x 6" tall)

The biggest issue is the 19" length. None of the fenders run that short. Unless you have something physically preventing the fender from extending the extra length it won't be a problem.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
