Little trip to the Keys.
We took a trip down to Key Largo for a three day weekend...sorta..We were on the road at 10am hoping to get down there around 12:30 but of coarse trouble found me...The bearing on the 12 year old boat...

Could use some of the weather around here...looks fun! Now did you learn anything about trailer wheel hubs and yearly maintenance? Any advice?
Im always up on greasing and changing oil on my equipment. I think the issue was that I haven't used the trailer in a long time. My boat is always on the boat lift in our back yard.
I learned that its easier to purchase new hub kits instead of rebuilding your existing ones. They are $30 each and luckily we had a bearing grease packer device at the shop.
The bearing that didn't fall apart had milky white grease in it caused by water..
I always had bearing buddies until this last trailer it has continuous oil bath system...seems to work fine...the BB's were really good never had an issue but messy and one boat trailer probably went close to 60K miles had it for 23 years.
When I tow I always check the temp on every stop. Glad you are back in business and had a grand time!
