    Tracker trailstar trailer hubs

    I am looking to pick up a pair of hubs for my trailer for traveling. The ones on there now are tie down engineering. With part #46210. I can not find them. Anybody know which hubs to buy? Boat and trailer is a 2017 190.
    Thanks!

    Do you want spare bare hubs?

    Or loaded hubs.

    Either way you have a 3500lb axle so the hubs you want will have these bearings and seal specs.

    Front race: L44610
    Front bearing: L44649
    Rear race: L8111
    Rear bearing: L68149
    Rear seal: 171255UC
    5x4.5 bolt pattern

    Instead I would recommend the Vortex Hub, part number 81013, it's a direct replacement.

    Replace the stock plastic screw in cap on the Vortex with an aluminum Threaded Vortex cap off of Amazon, make sure your wear sleeve has absolutely no wear marks, if so replace it, that is part number 17293 Tie Down engineering Wear Sleeve 1-3/8" X 1-1/16 Spindles.

    If you go with the Vortex on both sides you and use the aluminum cap you won't have to do much maintenance for a few years besides removing the cap a couple times a year to check for water intrusion, and running a finger behind the rear Grease seal to check for leaks.

    The ready to go hubs all have Inferior Rear seals, not like the triple lip seal I listed which is what the factory one has.

    Going to get the vortex hubs and rebuild mine for emergencys. Is there a difference in tie down engineering and Dexter vortex hubs?

    I forgot to mention you're looking for a 1750lb hub with the specs I mentioned, which goes with a 3500lb axle

    Dexter bought out Tie Down, it doesn't matter which one as long as you stay with that part number, but go with the aluminum Threaded caps you can get off of Amazon, and tighten them down by hand as tight as you can, then another 1/4 turn with a rubber strap wrench, don't go over that.

    You also do not want your wear sleeves looking anything like the attached image, if so replace it, most rebuilds that fail are because they didn't replace the wear sleeve your rear seal rides on.

    Would this be the same for a 2012?

    Check your hub number on the back and post it.

    Does this look right? Looks like replacement hubs are about 2x, but you get the ability to have a set of spares.
