Bearing Buddy 1980ss Stainless Steel Bearing Protector, 1.980 Inch, Sold as a Pair
The Bearing Buddy 1980ss is a stainless steel bearing protector sized to the 1.980 inch bore designation, sold as a matched pair (two per card) so both hubs on an axle are covered from a single purchase. Stainless steel construction gives the protector resistance to the corrosion that boat trailer hubs are regularly exposed to when backing a trailer into salt or fresh water. Each pair is packaged together under the single 1980ss part number, making it straightforward to order the correct quantity for a standard two-wheel axle without having to calculate protectors per hub separately. This is a hub bearing accessory intended for trailer hub and bearing applications, where the 1.980 inch size must match the bearing protector bore already in use on the hub. The product ships as a set at 1.5 pounds total. Because it is identified by the 1.980 inch size and stainless steel material rather than a vehicle-specific fitment listing, buyers should confirm the 1.980 inch bore matches their existing hub bearing protector before ordering.
