Hey Douglas, so the hub part # 8-173-16UC3 is designed to attach to a BTR spindle so for a replacement you'd want the part # TRU27FR which is a weld on spindle. We don't have any bolt on spindles that would simply bolt right up to your axle.

Hey Douglas, how did things turn out with the BTR weld-on spindle for your boat trailer? Your update could make it easier for others dealing with a broken spindle on an older setup.
