Subject: RE: Oil Bath Hubs

I had my oil bath hubs leak and it fried my bearings and a bunch of other stuff in my Ranger...I took it to a local boat service place and the owner said he sees LOTS of Rangers w the same problem...he converts oil bath hubs to grease all the time and says overall he sees less issues with the grease..if you are 250 miles from home and your seal breaks w the oil and you don't know it while trailering you are foobarred! so, I take the guys word and mine have been grease since 2008...zero issues...sure some with oil bath hubs might never have problems but they are also probably the guys who trailer their boats 500 miles a year and not taking many trips back and forth to the lake...for peace of mind I am 100% happy i went to grease...oil leaking out on a trip is nothing but a p a i n in the azz.
