How to Determine Which Bearings are Needed for a 2006 Stratos Boat Trailer

Question:

Good morning. I have a 2006 stratos 180 fs boat. With the matching stratos trailer. I am looking into what bearings it takes and cannot quite figure it out. Do you perhaps know?

The easiest way to find out what bearings your trailer takes is to first figure out what the axle capacity is. This usually can be found on an axle tag located on the center of the beam.

If you can't find anything on the axle beam, then you can try reaching out the manufacturer with the VIN and see if they'd be able to get that info for you.

Since your 2006 Stratos 180FS is a relatively small boat, you'll likely have a 2,000 or 2,200 lb axles in which you'd need # BK1-100 if you have 2,000 lb axles or # BK1-150 for 2,200 lb axles.

I've also attached a FAQ for you to check out that has some good info about picking the correct bearings.
