Replacement Trailer Hub With 5-Bolt Wheel Lug Pattern

Question

Question:

I would like to switch my boat trailer hubs to a 5 lug pattern. It seems that there are more tire choices for this size. I currently have hubs from national with # 203025 using bearings 44643. Can I install your hub 8-258BTUC1 to replace these? Thanks

If both the inner and outer bearings on your trailer spindle are part # L44643, the # 8-258BTUC1 would work well for you.

This is a hub assembly that works with 13 to 15 inch wheels and has a 5 on 4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern. This assembly includes bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
