I don't know anything about the bearing size of my trailer. Its a dual axle Venture. has 6 studs. Can anyone tell me bearing size based on that?

Some might, I can't. My advice is to tear them down & bring the bearings & seals with you when you go to the parts store.

Re: Wheel Bearings

Pull the hub apart. There will be a number on the bearing and a number on the seal.....

Re: Wheel Bearings

If you want to take a gamble, try:

#25580 inner and # 15123 outer bearing.

Otherwise, what Thalasso said

Re: Wheel Bearings

Are buying new bearings as spares? Since your boat is new, it would be highly unlikely that you need to replace your wheel bearings at this point. They should only need routine maintenance- grease, etc. When I tow, I do what many on this forum have suggested and carry a ready-to-install complete hub assembly that includes grease packed bearings. That way if I have bearing problems on the trip, I simply change hubs. Much easier than changing bearings on the side of the road.

1 1/4"x 1 3/4"- All 6 bolt hubs

Re: Wheel Bearings

You also need to know the seal number as you always replace it when you change out the inner bearing.

Always change the races when you change the bearings.

Re: Wheel Bearings

Hellow everyone.

Thank you so much for your responses.

Four Winns 214, yes they are extra. I had some wheel studs snap on me during my last trip and it got me thinking of what extra parts I should keep on hand.

Bruceb58, what do you mean by "races" is that the seal?

BrianNJ, my google ability must have been off yesterday. I spent some time on the venture website and seamed to have passed that section over. Thank you for digging it up.

Re: Wheel Bearings

A bearing has two parts. The tapered roller bearing assembly and the race which is also called a cup in which the bearimg rotates. The seal is a separate piece that installs at the back of the hub to prevent loss of grease. The race is press fit into the hub.
