Specs:
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.
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.
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.)
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.)
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.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Dexter 12" galvanized trailer hub-and-drum assembly for 5,200 pound to 7,000 pound axles has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. Now, this is a marine grade hub and drum assembly that'll fit axles with drum brakes. It does include both the outer and inner bearing races already pre-installed, does require the inner and outer bearings, the grease seal, the grease cap and lug nuts for installation, those we do sell separately on our website and are listed on this product page with the correct part number that you need. This hub-and-drum assembly has a nice galvanized zinc plating to it, has a 500 hour salt spray rating. It's ideal for use on a boat or snowmobile trailer, and it is durable enough for saltwater applications.This is designed to work with 12" by 2" electric and hydraulic brake assemblies. The application on this, again, is 5,200 pounds, 6,000 pound and 7,000 pound axles.
Weight capacity on just one of these hub-and-drums is 3,500 pounds, so when it's used with one on the other side of the axle it'll meet your 7,000 pound maximum trailer axle capacity. Bolt pattern, again, is an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. The wheel stud size is a 1/2" by 12". Just want to measure the drum inside diameter just to give you an idea. Inside diameter is 12", and the width on it is 2-1/4".
That should do it for the review on the Dexter 12" galvanized trailer hub-and-drum assembly for 5,200 pound to 7,000 pound axles with the 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Great product and great service
Thanks. Great service and prices.
High quality and very easy to install!
Great Service and prompt delivery!
great price and the berring races came installed, saved me time. hopefully they can hold up to salt water
As always... just what I ordered in a timely fashion.
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.
Perfect replacement for my old worn out Hub/Drum. I went with the galvanized becasue of use in saltwater.
Thanks E-Trailer.
So far so good! Wish it would have come with new castle nut and washer. Fast delivery!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Fast and accurate
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.
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.
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.
