You just need to pull the hubs and see what bearings are in there...or measure the axle size yourself after pulling off the hubs.

There is a bearing size/part number chart as a "sticky" at the very top of this forum. If the outer bearing is 1-1/16 and the inner bearing is 1-3/8 then you very likely have a 3500 pound axle and you need 1750# capacity hubs that accept those bearings. Anything other than that will not match the axle spindles. It is highly unlikely with the size boat and trailer you have that this would be a lighter axle (1-1/16 both bearings), or any heavier than 3500#. You do not need to go to a marine dealer to buy the hubs and bearings. If you have a farm store in your area, start there. You'll pay much less for the complete assembly with bearings installed.
