Seal, 1.687" x 2.327" x 5.00"
The Seal, 1.687" x 2.327" x 5.00" is a trailer hub grease seal with a 1.687-inch inner diameter and 2.327-inch outer diameter, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This grease seal presses into the inner side of the trailer hub and rides on the spindle, creating the barrier that keeps grease inside the bearing cavity and keeps water out — the single most critical seal on any boat trailer hub that gets submerged at the saltwater and brackish launches across Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the dozens of ramps throughout Jefferson Parish and the Greater New Orleans West Bank. The 1.687-inch bore fits the spindle diameter found on light to medium trailer axles in the 2,000 to 3,500 lb range — the most common axle class for single axle and light tandem axle boat trailers in Southeast Louisiana.
Louisiana boaters who launch regularly understand that the grease seal is the only thing standing between the bearings and the corrosive water the hub gets submerged in at every launch. When the seal wears, hardens from age, or gets damaged during a bearing repack, water bypasses it and enters the bearing cavity — diluting grease, contaminating the bearings, and starting the corrosion process that leads to bearing failure on Highway 90, Interstate 10, the Westbank Expressway, and the roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna. A failed seal doesn't announce itself — the damage happens silently inside the hub until the bearing seizes, generates heat, and destroys the hub assembly. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank installing fresh seals during a bearing repack after a season of saltwater launches, a marine repair shop stocking the most common seal size for customer hub service in Greater New Orleans, or Captain Chris replacing seals across a fleet of boat trailers on a preventive schedule, this seal keeps water out and grease in.
At $11.89, this grease seal is cheap insurance against the bearing failure that a worn or damaged seal allows. Always install a fresh seal during every bearing repack — reusing an old seal after disturbing it during service compromises the sealing lip and invites water intrusion. The 1.687" x 2.327" dimensions fit the hub and spindle configurations found on the majority of light to medium boat trailers in the Southeast Louisiana market. Perfect for bearing repacks, hub rebuilds, seal replacements, and preventive hub maintenance throughout the Gulf Coast region.
