Oil Bath Conversion Kit for Ranger Trail Boat Trailer
Question:
I would like to convert my Ranger boat trailer hubs to an oil bath system. It came out of the factory with their grease system, which I am not a fan of. It is a Ranger Trail trailer, manufactured by White River marine. I am not sure if you already have details on these trailers or not. Years ago, they used to offer their Cool Hubinch oil system, but they have gone the cheap route now, and only provide a grease system. Thanks

Your Ranger Trail boat trailer is not something we have information on so you will need to identify your axle/hubs to find the right parts. Once you have identified the axle you may be able to use one of the following:
-Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980KIT
-Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for for 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE2440KIT
These kits are designed for standard axles. The 3,500 lb kit fits a 1.98" hub bore and the seals fit a 1.72" spindle. The 5,200-6,000 lb kit fits a 2.44" hub bore and 2.25" spindle. If neither of these matches what you currently have you will need to piece the parts together. I attached two links below with all of our available oil seals and oil caps for your reference.
