Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use

This trailer hub-and-drum assembly has a zinc coating that resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All GAL-DEX hubs and drums undergo a test in which they are sprayed with a 5-percent salt solution to determine corrosion resistance over time. These products are able to withstand 500 hours of constant exposure to the saltwater mist. This 500-hour salt spray rating indicates that a product is not only durable enough to last in freshwater environments, but it can also be used on trailers that come into contact with saltwater.

by:

Perfect replacement for my old worn out Hub/Drum. I went with the galvanized becasue of use in saltwater.

Thanks E-Trailer.



by:

So far so good! Wish it would have come with new castle nut and washer. Fast delivery!



by:

I used these on my salt water boat trailer. The product works very well and have stood up to the salt water quite well.
I am happy with the results and ease of use.



by:

These brake hubs state made in USA, but the bearings are clearly stamped with China. I specifically asked the rep about the bearings & they told me they’d be made in USA. Not too happy with Etrailer customer service. When I called to inquire about the Chinese Bearings they said there’s nothing we can do, as Drexler controls the packaging for the Brake Hub kit.



by:

Excellent resources to help determine the exact parts I needed for my trailer project. Great product descriptions and videos. Competive prices and quick shipping! Thank you very much!



by:

Product has held up remarkably; I trailer only so there are weekly drops for the boat.

Last year was lighter then normally but all in all better then I though they would last.



by:


I'm just getting around to installing
my drums, thanks for promptly getting them to me, they look great!

I'm wondering if this product has the free backing feature or if I need to manually lock out the brakes when backing up. Any information is appreciated.



by:

Bought the galvanized drum brakes for a 6000# boat trailer used strictly in salt water. With rinse off after use they seem to be holding up pretty good.



by:

I replaced the entire triple axle suspension on my 5 wheel with your products. Everything went well and I’ve had no problems with the updates.



by:

I would highly recommend etrailer if they have what you need. These people really care about filling your order properly and followup with anything you order from them. They assume nothing!

This is a class AAA business to do business with.



by:

Stripping down a 16 year old 21 ft. salt water use trailer - from end to end. The folks @ etrailer were very knowledgeable, and helpful in my decision making. From placing the order, to tracking the order, to the way the items were packed for transit. Other distributors could learn from these people; in regards to customer service, following up, both office and warehouse. Unloaded the products last night, nothing short, all quality in regards to their products, with great pricing. The installation videos are a big bonus, and something I'll be taking advantage of, during the restoration. Will follow up with picture, (before and after) when I'm done



by:

The drums worked out fine, but the coating is just the spray-on type and not the electro-plated type so it wears and flakes off. Not worth the extra price over black painted hubs. Also, the paint seems to be making the brakes take a long time to wear in. They painted on the brake surface, which I should've sanded off.



by:

I ordered two hub assemblies with the bearing races installed, and upon receiving them, found a couple of races pitted and rusted; as well as one lug nut missing (The reason for the four stars is for quality control). Understandably, E-trailer simply asked for a few pictures of the races; and sent replacements out; no questions asked. Can't argue with service like that. They are a company that will make every effort to earn your business and repeat business.



by:

Everything purchased worked exactly as expected and continues to do the job I needed of them. I have and will continue to purchase all my trailer products from E-Trailer...



by:

Product is good quality, it was just what I needed, And fast shipping would definitely order from again and recommend to family and friends.



by:

Cheap junk. One of the hubs was not properly coated. Will not recommend this to anybody. Cheap junk from China. Photos will be attached.



by:

We had a break down on Saturday when we picked our boat up from storage. Went online and ordered the necessary parts to repair the trailer and forgot about it for a couple hours. Etrailer called to notify us that the selected parts would not arrive as hoped based on the shipping I had chosen. They went out of their way to locate the suitable parts and verify that they would arrive by the time I needed them so we could get the trailer repaired and back on the road. Thank you Etrailer for the excellent customer service!!! I look forward to my next order with you!



by:

this is the best prodact



by:

Shipping was pretty fast and packaging nice and secure. The drums and brake backing assembly were a breeze to install without instructions. I was a bit surprised though that the back kit did not come with 4 new bolts to secure onto the flange. I used the old ones. The drum kit comes with new lug nuts though. I have no real complaints, I would definitely use etrailer again. Excellent pricing and quality. I installed these brakes the next day after receiving them. I used marine grease from autozone to pack the new bearings. The brakes are bled and adjusted as per the sticker on the kit...adjust til you cannot turn by hand and 10 clicks out. All that's left is to test drive it.

came a day early fit good



by:

Fast and accurate



by:

I got the parts as stated Direct bolt on no issues. I found the web site to be helpful. This is my new trailer parts store.



by:

Both drums had rust spots in the same location, like they were sitting somewhere with water in them. Used some 200 grit sandpaper to remove the rust be surface of drums still marred.

Oh no, that is not good! Let me get this over to our customer service department for them to get in touch with you.



by:

Decided to try a galvanized drum for my boat trailer. Hopefully lasts better with no rust. The wheel studs on these drums are longer than the non galvanized version for some reason.

  • Who Makes The Best Quality Trailer Bearings?
    Hi Calvin! All of the pre-greased hubs/drums, like the Terran Industries Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # TX68VJ, come with bearings made overseas and are all basically the same quality. At least that I have seen. That said, As long as you do regular maintenance, they should last a good long time. The only downside to Terran Industries specifically is the Mobilgrease XHP 222 grease they use. It can be a bit hard to find and we have heard it does...

  • Replacement Trailer Hub for Hub Marked 8-247
    Thank you for the info you found on your current hub/drums. Based on that the correct replacement would be the part # 8-247-50.

  • Which Brakes to Fit in Dexter 8-247 Hub and Drums
    Yes. The Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # AKUBRK-35-D are compatible with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # 8-247-50. The brakes come with mounting bolts but not the hardware, so if you need brake mounting hardware (nuts and lock washers) you can use the # BRKH10B.

  • Replacement For Dexter 8-147 Hub
    The # 8-247-50 matches the capacity, but it uses the modern bearing configuration with # L44649 outer and # L68149 inner bearings. The 8-147 uses a # LM48548 inner bearing which means these hubs will not fit your spindle. The best solution is to replace your current axle. We have the following 3,500 lb axle lengths available: -Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 89" Long # e38GR -Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 95" Long # e68GR You want to choose a replacement...

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for Dexter Hub with 8-243
    The Dexter 8-243 hub is for a 3,500 lb axle like the # 8-247-50 so for brake assemblies you'd want the # AKEBRK-35 for a set that includes left and right assemblies. If you are looking for individual components of the assemblies let me know.

  • Electric Brakes That Fit Dexter 8-247 Drum
    We do have electric brake assemblies that fit your 8-247 drum like the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum # 8-247-50. Since your hub and drum is for 3,500 lb axles and measures 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide, you simply need to have brakes that match, which are the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA (Self-Adjusting) or # AKEBRK-35 (Manual Adjusting). For the manually adjusting brakes you need the Brake Adjustment Spoon # W80630, and for both assemblies you need Mounting Hardware # BRKH10B. I...

  • Brake Assemblies that Can be Used with Dexter Hub 8-247
    Yes the brake assemblies part # 23-26 and # 23-27 can be used with the Dexter hub/drum part # 8-247-50 that you mentioned as well..

  • Replacement Galvanized Hub and Drum Assemblies for Boat Trailer w/Bearings L68149 and L44649
    We have numerous hub and drum assemblies that use inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649. I have included a link to them for you. There are several different bolt patterns for hubs that take those bearings. The most common is a 5 on 4-1/2 like # 8-247-50 but to be sure you can measure for bolt pattern using the help article I have linked. The race numbers might not be an exact match but that is because they match the bearings AND the hubs so as long as the bearing numbers are correct...

  • Is Redline Trailer # 84 Spindle a Fit for Dexter 8-247 Drums
    You are correct that the TruRyde #84 Spindle, like part # TRU24FR, which you reference, is a fit for your Dexter trailer hub and drum, part # 8-247-50. Please note the spindle has a 1750 lbs. capacity, so two spindles will give your axle a 3500 lbs. capacity. I would strongly recommend you take the axle to a qualified machine shop to have the appropriate welds done.
