Suitability of Replacement 5-on-4-3/4-Inch Bolt Pattern Hubs on Boat Trailer
Question:
Hi, I need a 5x4.75inch bolt pattern complete hub assembly for a 1inch straight shaft spindle to fit a 14inch wheel on my boat trailer. I only see hubs on your website in this configuration for a tapered spindle. Is this available? I would like to purchase if available. Thanks

We offer four hub assemblies in the 5-on-4-3/4 inch bolt pattern you need and these can be seen on the link at right.
The key to determining compatibility with your spindles is the bearing set used. All of these hubs use the same bearing set, # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer. If your hubs use the same bearing set then they will work.
If you are referring to a taper in the mid-section of the spindle (the area between the points where the two bearings sit) this will not matter. In such cases this machining of the spindle simply means that there will be more room inside the hub for grease - a good thing. The hub's interior itself never actually touches the spindle anyway.
