A boat trailer's bearings provide rotational movement between the hub and the spindle. Boat trailer bearings are particularly susceptible to deterioration because they are frequently submerged in water when launching or loading the boat, but the bearings are often neglected because few owners know how to properly maintain them. Good boat trailers have grease nipples on the end of the hubs for easy lubrication of the bearings.
Determine the location of the inner bearing on the spindle, the smooth metal surface closest to the middle of the trailer. [links]
Take this part number to a parts supplier to get the correct replacement bearings.
For the application of the finish, the trailer components receive an electrostatic charge, which attracts the opposite charge in the powder coat particles. This assures thorough coverage, uniform thickness and minimal waste, all while having virtually no environmental effect.
Every Mod V and Deep V boat comes standard with a great-looking, long-lasting, custom-matched TRACKER® trailer. Unlike some trailers, ours are welded together for maximum strength. Each features our exclusive GALVASHIELD® Impact corrosion and chip protection with a best-in-class, three-year corrosion warranty. Plus, each one is designed and built to provide maximum support for your boat and a smooth ride behind your vehicle. Carpeted bunks, load guides, a heavy-duty winch and Super Lube hubs are just a few of the built-in advantages of a TRACKER trailer. more
The GALVASHIELD Impact trailer finish is a 5-mil.-thick, matte black, textured powder coat that improves corrosion-resistance while adding chip-resistance. The steel tubing is still galvanized on the outside and inside and sealed with a flexible clearcoat before it arrives at our plant in Ozark, Missouri. The trailer frame and components are put through a 5-stage wash and then thoroughly dried to ensure perfect adhesion to the metal.
Other great features designed for a smooth ride for years to come include heavy-duty winches, Super Lube hubs, submersible lights and more!

Every trailer frame features our exclusive 50% thicker GALVASHIELD Impact protection, providing exceptional corrosion and chip resistance and rugged good looks that will stand up to the elements for years to come.

Unlike a single axle trailer, a tandem axle boat trailer uses two axles that operate together to connect wheels on each side of the trailer.
A single axle’s name gives away its definition: this term refers to a trailer that uses one axle to connect the wheels on the sides of the unit.
If you are looking for a new trailer to haul your boat or other outdoor equipment, you must consider whether you want a single axle or tandem axle boat trailer.
While single axle trailers generally require more maintenance due to the intense pressure placed on their two wheels, maintenance is generally cheaper with single axles than with tandem axle trailers.
