Question:
I have a hub on a Vanguard 1 place PWC Trailer that is I believe 5 lug on 4.5 the hub has cast out numbers 8-259 on inner side. Can you please advise what part this is inner and outer bearing sizes / part s and what hubs will fit. Current tire is 4.80 x 12 I believe you have whole hub kits including painted and galvanized I can also send you pictures if you need or would be helpful. Thanks!

Hey Raypeebles, we have the exact replacement hub you are looking for with the part # 8-259-5UC1-EZ. We also have a galvanized version of this hub with the part # 8-259-50UC1 as well if you are wanting to prevent corrosion. Will the trailer see saltwater?
