As I came around the back of the boat to lower the talons to back into the garage, I smelled gear lube. I knew right away that something was not right. The first tire I looked at had a fresh drip of lube running down the inside. Upon closer inspection, the inside of the wheel was coated in lube and the seal was leaking. After getting the boat backed into the garage I jacked up the trailer and removed that wheel. I could make the hub move back and forth a little and knew the bearings were going to need replacing. A call to Phoenix got the job in motion and Marine Master sent out a brand new kit with bearings, seals, orings, grease, etc. I now have my big toolbox equipped with a floor jack, hammers, grease guns, bearing kits, seals, etc so if I'm on the road and have an issue, I have every tool needed to get the job done. You never know when something like this can rear it's ugly head.
