    Default Everyone !!!


    Note to everyone that trailers their boats. CHECK YOUR HUBS!!! Don't just wobble the tire jack up the trailer to check!!! I was very lucky (someone was looking out for me) had a flat tire on my boat trailer this morning jacked up the trailer found the wheel had a little wobble to it. Pulled off the hub had a blown rear seal, ditto with the other tire!! Going to have to do a lot of fine sanding on the spindle, hope I can save it, don't want to have to buy a new axil.........off to west marine now for two new hub kits, with bearing buddies this time!!!!

    This is my worst fear, heading out fishin & then stuck on the side of the road with a bad bearing/hub for the day
    I try to just do them a few times a year regardless.

    glad to see ya got your rig back in motion.
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
