Hey Kevin, welcome back. The CE Smith boat trailer item # CE48810 has a 1.98" inner hub diameter. You'll want the etrailer Bearing Protectors w/ Covers for 1.98" Hub Bore item # e99005.
The etrailer item # e99005 are sold as a pair, will replace your current grease caps, and work in a similar way to prevent dirt and water from getting to the bearings. The best part about them is they have a zerk fitting that will make adding grease and routine maintenance a lot easier.

Hey Kevin, how did the bearing protectors work out on your CE Smith boat trailer? Did the zerk fittings make it easier to keep the bearings greased and clean? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
