Question:
I need to know if the hub depth is 3 1/2inch deep? I currently have a loadrite boat trailer with BT151A wheel hubs. These are short hubs and cant seem to find any that will fit my trailer.

The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K is 4-1/2" deep. The issue you are running into is pretty common on older boat trailers because they use a much shorter spindle than most trailers today and unfortunately, theses hubs are very hard to find. If you can get me your spring center and hub face measurements (see photo) then I can go about getting you a new axle but that is pretty much your only option.
