trailer bearing service?
Message:
I own a 2004 G3 aluminum boat. I purchased it at Reynolds in 05; I might have 7 or 8 hundred miles on the trailer; All freshwater launches except for 4 salt water. To this date I yearly just pump some more lube into the bearing buddies and am wondering if it's time to take them off and inspect them. Just wondering what the rest of you guys do. thanks cmorjoe

I do mine each year. It takes about a hour to do both sides. Obviously it takes longer if you need to replace the bearings and races. The most important part of the job....make sure you have the correct hub seals. Your old ones will surely get ruined. On the seals make sure the new ones you purchase are a "double lip" Keeps the grease in and the water out. Better to take the time to do it pre-season than to be stuck on the side of the highway at 5:00am. as an insurance policy I purchased a whole new hub. I take it with me when I go out of state. There only about 60 bucks.
