Hey Norman, it sounds like you are looking for bearing buddies for your boat trailer. Without a caliper measurement it is going to be difficult to accurately recommend the correct parts. There are a few potential sizes that could appear to be 1-7/8" to the naked eye. The Bearing Buddy pair you were looking at, part # BB1781, fits a 1.781 inch hub bore. I do suggest that you take a caliper such as part # PTW80157 to double check your hub bore measurement. Feel free to post your findings in the comment section below and I am happy to make a recommendation.

Thanks, I got a number from the bearing. So I think I got a size from that number 1.9

@Norman The 1.98" Bearing Buddies # BB1980A-SS are a very common size for 5 lug hubs so if your hub does have the standard 1.98" pilot they will work great.
