Question:

I have a 2013 boat trailer and i need bearings, races and seals for both sides. Unfortunately the only numbers i can find are on the seal GS-2250DL. there are not other numbers on any of the bearings or races. Any ideas? This trailer was built by Discount boat trailers out of Florida and they have since gone out of business.

Expert Reply:

Based on the grease seal part number you found on the grease seal on your 2013 Discount Boat trailer you will need the # GS-2250DL, but for the bearings and races you will need to remove on of your hubs.

The grease seal you have is commonly used on 5200-8000lb axles of which there is quite a few different bearing combinations.

The easiest way to find your bearing combination is by removing one of your hubs and looking for the bearing numbers stamped in both the inner and outer bearings as shown in the included picture of the # L44649.

If the bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers you will need to use digital calipers # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle in the locations shown in the included diagram.

If you can provide either the bearing numbers or spindle measurements I would be happy to confirm the correct replacement bearings for you.
