Trailer Bearings Manufacturers

[shortstick]

First off the trailer is a tandem axle 2010 marine master trailer.
I am having to replace the bearings on the rear axel of my trailer. Two questions do
I need to replace the bearing in both hubs or just the one that is out and
is there a bearing manufacturer I should stay away from?

Thanks for the help.

I'll give you more answers than the questions you asked:

If the other bearings are in good shape, no reason to change them.

You need to replace the races on the spindle with the bad bearings as well. Be very careful to wear eye protection and gloves when messing with them.

Timken makes good bearings.

Be sure you get seals with double lips designed for boat trailers rather than the standard ones you'd get at an auto parts place.

I'll just add, most auto parts houses can order double lip seals if you can't find them locally.
