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.


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"

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.

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.

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.

  • Can Electric Brakes be Added to a 5 by 10 foot Utility Trailer
    Yes they can, if you check out the link I attached you will see a page that has a guide on how to add electric drum brakes to a trailer. Basically you are going to need to know what spindle you have on your trailer so that you can determine what brake drum/hub would fit it and then build it from there.

  • 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...

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for Dexter Hub with 8-243

  • 2004 Ranger Trailer Hub Recommendation
    From past experiences with your trailer we do know a bit about what hubs are typically going to fit but I would recommend you verify first by checking your trailer. 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.

  • How To Measure For Replacement Bearings to Replace Timken Bearings
    I was not able to find much information about the dimensions of the Timken bearings provided. Please measure the spindle with a digital caliper and provide me with the measurements and I can recommend the correct bearing kit for you. I have attached a diagram of where to measure the spindle to get the most accurate measurements. You can also measure the inner diameter of the bearings themselves if that is easier.

  • 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...

  • Solution for 2007 Keystone Springdale 249 5th Wheel Needing Replacement Spindle
    Since you need a new spindle too and installing spindles is a specialized job that usually costs more than just replacing an axle typically in your situation it's best to just replace the entire axle. This will be easier, more cost-effective and will give you all new axle components for both sides of the trailer. You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one as we don't have access to what your numbers reference. You will need to measure from...

  • New Hubs Do not Fit Over Brake Shoes On Trailer
    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...

  • 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.

  • Info Needed to Pick Out Replacement Trailer Hub
    I can not find any info on that hub part number so I am not able to help determine what would be the correct replacement. If you can get me the trailer axle capacity and the wheel bolt pattern that would be all we'd need to pick out correct replacement. For example, the Dexter hub/drum part # 8-247-50UC3-EZ is for the very common 3,500 lb axle and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

  • Recommended Replacement Hub/Brake Drum for Boat Trailer Axle
    I'd almost be willing to bet the farm that your inside bearing is actually a L44649 with an inner diameter of 1.063 inches. A typical 3500 lb axle will have a L68149 inner and a L44649 outer bearing. If that's the case, the Dexter # 8-247-50UC3-EZ galvanized hub/drum you looked at would work well for you. The hub includes the bearings, races, 10-19 grease seal, grease cap and lug nuts.

  • What Kind of Grease Cap Comes with the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-247-50UC3-EZ

  • Replacement Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly Recommendation to Replace Rusty Assemblies
    For the price of replacement brake pads and shoes it's almost always a better solution to go ahead and just replace the entire brake assembly. And in your situation with the current condition of your assemblies I would strongly recommend you do that based on how much rust is there. In order to pick out assemblies you need to know the diameter of the assemblies and the width of the brake brake pads. I can tell by the pics you have the standard 4 bolt mounting flange.

  • What Would Cause Wheel Studs of Dexter Hub 8-247 to Sheer Off
    Sometimes with all the studs of a hub sheer off it's because one lug nut started to come loose which then caused others to work loose and with enough play the impact on the stud as the wheel turns eventually sheers off the stud. The replacement wheel studs you need for hub part # 8-247-50UC3 would be part # 7-262.
