Hey William, thanks for reaching out and providing all of the information!
For your application you're going to need the Bearing Kit # BK1-150 which comes with the bearings, races, seals, along with a cotter pin and washer to secure everything.
Hopefully between this and the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27840 your boat trailer will be back up and running in no time!

Hey William, how did the Bearing Kit and the 6' carpeted bunk boards work out on your Trail-Rite trailer? It’d be great to hear if everything fit well with your axle setup. Your update could make it easier for others working on older boat trailers.
