    I'm definately taking it to someone who knows what they're doing to see just what my problem is. Thanks.

I also got another spare hub with packed bearings installed. I can't imagine a business that specializes in trailer bearings installing them where the nut would loosen. This same thing happened shortly after I bought the boat, same drivers side wheel. Nothing was hot, just the outer bearing torn apart and the hub coming off of the spindle. I have no idea who had installed the bearings that time.
    was this place on 49 south (Richland)?

    Check that axle. It may be warped causing it to run a little sideways n wear out the bearings

    Somebody that knows more than I do would have to do it. Everything looks straight when it's on the trailer but apparently it doesn't take much.

    I think you got the boat just like you want it. You pull it all over the place and on a lot of two lane roads in the country. I would like to see you bite the bullet and get a new double axle trailer. Bet you would sleep better.
