Your Magic Tilt Boat trailer likely has very standard leaf springs so you would just need to verify the style (double-eye or slipper), the width and length of the spring, and the axle capacity in order to find the correct replacement. When measuring your leaf springs you'll want to jack up the trailer by the frame to take the weight off of the springs first, otherwise you'll end up with the wrong measurement. Depending on the wear and tear on the springs they could also have flattened out a bit and might be a bit off from standard measurements.

For example, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR you were looking at is a 1-3/4" wide double-eye leaf spring designed for 3,500lb axles with a 25-1/8" measurement from the center of one eye to the other.

If you can determine the style and provide both the measurements and axle capacity I'd be happy to help find the correct replacement leaf springs for your trailer.
