Hi, I am looking for replacement hubs for my saltwater boat trailer. The existing hubs say this on the back “8-448 HT F 21A12 China” Do you know what replacements I should buy?

Hey Andrew, it looks like those are 2.5k axle hubs made by Dexter, so you can use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500-lb Axles # DX22XR as a replacement.
This kit includes the replacement hub, bearings, races, seals, and has the same 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern as your current ones.
If you need anything else, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
