I'd change that whole Hub Slip. I carry spares bearings. Lost a bearing last Dec on last trip with Buzz and changed out the bearing in the boat ramp parking lot in a few mins. Got some 2 new hubs over the winter and just changed them.

Paul, Where do you get those german bearings? I'm sick of the junk ones.

Thanks

ya I will buy new hubs with bearings and keep one of these in the truck for a spare.

so it has a 3/4" diameter axle/shaft, is that all I need to know to get new ones? and where do I get these new chinese junk hubs?
thanks

I would go with the better bearings like Paul also, but they will just get ruined in the salt water also in short time.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

prbuzz went to different packing system I think it's oil based not grease that keeps all water out via positive pressure.

When the inner seal goes on the hub you can have a timebomb just waiting
