| ditto on the seals.
When I had bearing buddies, I checked my bearings mid-season, and repacked with new seals every at season end before I put the boat up for the winter.
Last bearing failure I had was in 1983 with a shared boat. Yup, it had bearing buddies, and the other party swore he just "greased" them up before I let on a trip to Eastern Ontario. We made it to Marinette from Milwaukee before the chirping was determined not to be birds. Both sides almost welded the races to the axles. 4 hours later, we were on our way. I learned my lesson about Bearing "Buddies" then. | |
