I have 4 of those hubs I bought off ebay and they are new but may not be the
right size. I would recommend getting a new trailer - one that is
submersible. If you are interested I will dig them out of the attic and
check their size. I have one of those old Evinrude trailers with the disc
setup and took the calipers off also. Still got them in a box. Someday I am
going to replace that old trailer and give it away. Mainly cause I can't
find replacement tires for the hubs. TK
