Can I use a Rectangular Axle with Round Axle on Tandem Boat Trailer

Question:

I have a bent axle on my boat trailer. It is 2 inch diameter rectangular steel. I need to replace it. My trailer is a tandem. Is it ok to use a round axle with a rectangular axle? The other axle is good so I dont want to replace it. Thank you.

I spoke with my contact at Redneck Trailer Parts and he said that yes you can use a rectangular tube axle with a round tube axle on your tandem boat trailer as long as the hub base diameter and spring center diameter are the same.

You will also need to add U-Bolts. I have included a link to all of our U-Bolt kits for your to check out.
