Hey Aaron, thanks for the information! For a replacement bearing kit, I recommend the Timken item # TMK52VR. It includes inner and outer bearings and races, seal, cotter pin, and spindle washer. This kit is sold per hub so you'll need two.
Your 171255UC is the item # RG06-050, and the item # L44649 is commonly found with it and the item # L68149 you also have on 3,500 lbs axles. So I'm pretty confident you read the 6 and 9 on the item # L44649 bearing correctly.
What kind of boat do you have? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

I would definitely go with the Timken bearings and races, high quality compared to other Chinese made parts. They cost a bit more, but will last longer if properly serviced. Brent
