Yesterday I decided to check and repack the bearings on may trailer, turned out I had one bad bearing and one showing signs of failure. I replaced them all and checked over everything else. When I got to the ramp this morning my outboard wouldnt start now its at H2O sports waiting to be checked. :banghead
Yes, Boat is actually an acronym: Break Out Another Thousand
Sorry you had trouble but your lucky you checked bearings on the trailer before it was too late. Hope it is smooth sailing after this.:twocents
Well........my boat was new in 2006...........and it's already had a new axle totally, and one entire bearing. Some guy waved us down on I-40, and my wheel was ON FIRE!!! As in "flames".....
I carry a spare hub now.........
I can't really complain I guess, my motor is 5 years old to me and I never had a single problem out of it. My boat is almost 30 years old, my grand dad got it as a retirement gift and I spent many days with him and my dad fishing out of it, so to finally have some bearings crap out isn;t that bad.
