Hi Tony!
When using a 14" wheels with the etrailer Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K, you will want to torque the lug nuts to 75 to 85 foot pounds. And those goes for steel or aluminum wheels as well.
Guessing since these are galvanized, you are going into salt water? What kind of boat do you have?
