Replacement Hub for 1" Straight Spindle on Boat Trailer  

Updated 09/03/2025 | Published 09/01/2025

Question:

I think I need AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-1K for my application. Boat trailer, 4 on 4, 1 straight spindle diameter, and 3.26 or so inches long so not a short spindle. Does that sound right?

Hey John!

Yes, the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-1K looks to be exactly what you're needing!

What boat trailer do you have?

1969 ShipMate 1500. No EZLube fittings. Should I add a Bearing Buddy? I have a grease gun loaded with Lucas Oil Red N Tacky.

@JohnK A Bearing Buddy kit is a good idea since this is on a boat trailer that will be submerged. The kit that matches with the hub mentioned above is part # BB1980A-SS. I really like the stainless-steel kit because it means they won't corrode after being exposed to water.
