Boat trailer bearings are toast, and looking for a recommendation on a replacement brand (1-1/6" outer / 1-3/8" inner). Was curious if there are any high quality Japanese USA, etc bearing options. I'm assuming if I roll up to parts counter at Napa, I'm just getting the cheapest Chinese bearings. Same question with the seals - any particular type I should look for.
I was also curious, my trailer has a sleeve on the inner portion of the spindle that the seal sits against. One side was a bit scored up and needs to be replaced. I don't see this being part of any standard bearing kit, and wanted to find out if there is a good shop in Vancouver where i can pick up parts. Would much rather buy locally rather than through amazon or etrailer.
This is for a family lake boat that stays up at the cabin - the trailer maybe get 5 miles a year on it, and is thoroughly neglect as a result - but now I'm the designated repair person...
