This high-quality 6,000 lb capacity 94 inch hub-face galvanized boat trailer axle by Knott-Autoflex features a V-bend center and pre-greased and pre-installed galvanized 6 lug idler hubs. The heavy-duty axle is constructed from hot-dipped galvanized 2" x 3" tubing, so this axle is corrosion resistant and ready for use in saltwater and freshwater conditions alike. It comes equipped with Galvanized 6 Lug Idler Hubs with a 6 on 5.5 inch bolt pattern and 1/2"-20 lug studs, and features a greasable spindle, along with the standard 2.441 inch Accu-Lube Style Dust Cap so you can easily add grease to the Bearings based on your maintenance schedule. The Axle also comes equipped with a standard 5-hole brake flange for installing trailer disc brakes. This axle is an ideal replacement for boat trailers that have 6 lug wheels and 5,200 lb to 6,000 lb capacity axles
This Galvanized Axle by AutoFlex-Knott have adjustable Spring Centers, so we've included Galvanized Spring Mounts with each of these Axles. Although they are adjustable, the spring seats should only be installed within a certain range on the axle beam to ensure proper weight distribution and clearance with the brake flange. That Spring Center Range depends on the length of axle you purchase; for this 94-Inch Hub Face V-Bend Trailer Axle, it can be safely mounted on trailers that have a Spring Center Measurement of 76" to 81.5". If your trailer has a spring center measurement outside of this range, you might need a shorter or longer hub face axle in order to fit your trailer frame.
The other important measurement to take into consideration when sourcing a new Boat Trailer Axle is the Hub Face Measurement. This Measurement is taken from the outside face of one hub to the outside face of the other hub. This is the standard measuring length on most axles, meaning a 90 inch trailer axle will typically be a 90 inch hub face, not a 90 inch overall length. Because Trailer Tires and Wheels usually have a 0 offset, this means the hub face measurement is also the center-of-tire measurement for your trailer. Your replacement trailer axle should have a hub face that puts your tires safely under the fenders, and if you need to go to a longer axle to accommodate the spring center measurements above, keep in mind that that means you will probably need to adjust your fenders. This Axle's Hub Face Measurement is equal to 94".
This Trailer Axle has a Weight Capacity of 6,000lbs. The included pre-installed hubs contain the standard 1 3/4" x 1 1/4" bearing combination (Bearing Numbers 25580 and 15123) that is commonly seen in trailer hubs of this weight capacity, and the grease Seal has an inner diameter of 2 1/2". This pre-installed hub is already greased with a Lithium Based Grease, but additional Lithium Grease may be applied before use.
Knott brand components are always high-quality and built-to-last. This Axle is no different, it's made of 2x3 steel tubing that is 1/4" thick, and then hot-dipped galvanized for excellent corrosion resistant properties.
