Corrosion Resistance for Marine Use

This trailer hub assembly has a zinc coating that resists corrosion, making it ideal for use on your boat or snowmobile trailer. All GAL-DEX hubs 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


E-Z Lube-Compatible Assembly for Simple Lubrication

The grease cap on this hub-and-drum assembly is specially designed to work with your Dexter E-Z Lube axle to make lubricating bearings quick and easy. Just remove the plug on the grease cap, attach a grease gun to the zerk fitting on the end of the spindle, and inject the grease. It will flow easily to both inner and outer bearings. Not only does this make lubricating the bearings easy, but it also helps to prevent corrosion of the hub. This is because you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.


Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)


Bolt Pattern Side

Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Purchased 4 brake kits and hub/drum assemblies for a 12 yr old tandem axle aluminum car carrier. Great product, quality, and delivery. Installed new bearings, brakes and drums, looks great and and rides line new...!!!

My salesman Troy provided me superb assistance and customer service. Kudos to etrailer and Troy..!!



by:

Had to wait a few days for etrailer to get these plated hubs back in stock, but when they arrived installation was what you'd expect. Quality seems very good, and made in USA (bonus). These are Dexter brand hub/drums. Time will tell if the plating will make any difference on my boat trailer application. Originals were not plated and were ugly/rusty, but also 30 years + old so I opted to replace vs have them turned / wire-brush and paint. Glad I waited.



by:

Fit perfectly, easy install



by:

These drums are nice made in the USA parts with every thing you need to install them for half the money you would pay at a trailer shop.
Shipped to my door and package so they weren't all beat to crap when I received them.
Nice job etrailer.

Timely delivery,all parts were a perfect fit brake drums bearings and seals with instructions! No issues. Very reputable! Thanks again!! Satisfied customer

Great quality. Seem very sturdy. Holding up so far after one seasons worth of use on my boat trailer.



by:

All parts were received and in new condition. The packaging was perfect. I will not install the brakes for another few days so rating performance is out for now.
etrailer was prompt in shipping and answered my questions by email and phone.

On time and great quality product.

Had them for about a year. Work great. They have been holding up to the saltwater. Don't see a spot of rust. And I never wash them off after pulling my boat out.

Product as described. Bought two sets. One for immediate use and the other for back up for those long hauls that you never know what you may encounter.

  • Wheel Bearings, Seals and Grease Caps for Dexter 10 Inch Trailer Hub/Drum with 8-247 Casting Number
    The 8-247 casting number refers to a Dexter 10 inch hub/drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The hub/drum uses a # L68149 inner and a # L44649 outer bearing and 10-19 grease seals, part # RG06-050, sold in pairs. For grease caps, use # RG04-020 sold in pairs. If your trailer has EZ lube spindles, you'd use # RG04-040 which feature removable plugs so you can easily access the grease zerks in the end of the spindles. We don't offer a synthetic grease. What we recommend and what our...

  • Standard Grease Cap to Replace EZ Lube Cap on 3,500 Trailer Hubs
    I don't care for Bearing Buddies honestly as they make it too easy to overfill the hub and cause the grease seal to blow out. A standard grease cap would be your best option. For that you'd just need the part # RG04-020 for your 3,500 EZ lube spindles.

These are a great choice for replacements for your trailer's one axle. These brakes work with 13- to 15-inch wheels. As long as you've matched your axle rating, drum size and mounting pattern these brakes should be perfect for your boat trailer.

  • Replacement 3,500 lb Axle-less Suspension System for Boat Trailer
    The number you referenced means you have a Lippert axle with a 3,500 lb capacity and hub-face to hub face measurement of 93.75 inches and spring-center to spring-center measurement of 77.25 inches. We do not carry any replacement axles of that length but there is a great option for you with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System because it negates the use of axles altogether.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for 2005 Keystone Hornet with 3500 lb AL KO Axles
    The 3,500 lb Al Ko axles use standard 4 bolt mounting flange brake assemblies so you could easily use the part # AKEBRK-35-SA for a set of self adjusting brake assemblies to replace what you have now. Then for the hub/drums you are looking for you'd want the # 8-247-50UC3-EZ and you'd be set.

    To add electric brakes to your Karavan US-2200-74-ST boat trailer, where Karavan has specified L44649 as the outside bearing and L68149 as the inside bearing, you will need the following parts. You can use the etrailer # AKEBRK-35-SA Electric Brake Kit including left and right assemblies. Add nuts and lock washers with part # BRKH10B.

We have found that your trailer has inner bearing L68149, ID 1.378, race OD 2.0362, outer bearing L44649 ID 1.063, and race OD 1.980. I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-247-50UC3-EZ.

  • Is 84656UC3-EZ 10 Inch Hub Drum a Direct Replacement for Dexter 8-247
    You are correct. The # 84656UC3-EZ hub/drum you'd looked at with the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern uses the same L44649 outer/L68149 outer wheel bearings and 10-19 grease seal as the 8-247 hub/drum like the # 8-247-50UC3-EZ you'd looked at. Since the inner and outer bearings and ID of the grease seal match up, the # 84656UC3-EZ would be a compatible replacement.

  • How to Identify Correct Replacement Trailer Hub Based on Bearings
    The hub casting number 8-283 could appear on more than one specific hub so the best way to find out if we have the exact one you need is to pull it off the spindle and remove its bearings. Those bearing part numbers will tell us the weight rating of the hub, which is essential to finding the right replacement. You also need to know the wheel bolt pattern (see the linked article, please) to choose a hub that works with your wheel bolt pattern. You can refer to the linked article on popular...

If instead you are looking for the spindle nut # 165686 is the correct fit along with cotter pin # 165649.

  • Replacement Axle and Hubs for 2003 Four Winns Horizon 190
    I have a possible solution for you but none of our standard axles match your measurements. Also, you will need to determine your axle capacity to find the right replacement. With a rectangular axle you won't be able to determine this by diameter. If you have a common bearing combination that will give you a good idea but the best option would be to get the VIN and contact the manufacturer. Once you have the capacity you can find the right replacement parts. Since we don't have a matching...

  • Replacement Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies for 3500 lb Axle
    The 8-247 casting number you provided indicates you have a standard 10 inch hub/drum which is typical for a 3500 lb axle. Assuming your existing hub/drums have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, the # 8-247-50UC3-EZ hub/drum would work fine for you, but for a car hauler you really don't need a galvanized hub. Instead, I'd recommend the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K as a much more affordable option that includes the bearings, races, grease seal, dust cap for both standard and EZ Lube spindles and lug...

  • How to Determine Correct Hubs For Trailer
    There are different versions of those, so it's impossible to give you an answer. There is just a single way to determine the hubs that fit your trailer, as you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings ride; you will...

    If the hub you are replacing has 8-247 stamped on it as you mentioned, the part # 8-247-50UC3-EZ, should be the correct replacement. You mentioned the hub will not fit over the brake shoes. You should not need to turn the drums to make the new hub fit. Are the brake shoes new on your system, and are they adjusted properly. You will need to turn the adjusting star wheel to move the shoes in or out for adjustment. I have attached a video that shows how brakes are installed, and at about...

  • Replacement For 11033L Idler Hub and Spindle Ranger Boat Trailer
    The 11033L hub shown in your photo was manufactured by Tie Down Engineering, or TDE. What you have there is a hub for a standard 3500 lb axle which has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For an idler hub, I'd recommend the galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K. The hub includes the bearings, races, grease seal, dust cover and lug nuts. These are grease hubs.
