How To Determine What Hub Is Needed For 14-Ft Boat Trailer

To determine what hub you need for your boat trailer, there are a couple things you need to know. The easiest way is to remove the hub you have and find the numbers on the bearings you have installed on your trailer. I have attached a photo that shows where you can find the numbers on your bearings and race. You may have a sticker or plate on your trailer that will tell you what the axle rating for your trailer is. That helps when choosing replacement hubs and hub components as well.

If you are unable to find the numbers on the bearings or race you will need to use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 and measure the spindle in the noted locations and the inside diameter of the hub you have. When you said 3/4 inch I assume you are talking about the spindle that the hub attaches to. Once you get the measurements let me know and I will be glad to help find replacement hubs that will work for you.

I have also attached a link to a helpful article that explains how to determine the bolt pattern of your wheel to make sure you get the correct replacement hub.
I have attached a link to our product page for the hubs we have available. After you determine the size and style you need you can use the filters on the product page to find the right hub for you.
