I've just renewed my bearings again, only a year and a half after the last time - problem being that with the boat just being rolled 100yd's into its space after being dunked at the bottom of the slipway. Has anyone used these or anything similar - www.bearingbuddy.com |

Rate them highly, i had them on one of my boat trailers and never changed the bearings at all in 5 years until sold. They Only fit the tappered bearing i beleive! as i've only got the roller bearing type now. Would have them with out a doubt!

Pete,
Got them fitted on my trailer, they were on there (well used) when I bought the boat and I've not yet needed to replace anything.
When I was originally in the compound and bearings were a problem, I made a set of solid bronze bearings (just for pushing around) greased them well and they worked a treat and lasted till I sold the boat 7 years later. The cronies in the club poured a lot of scorn on them and continued to replace theirs every few months or so.
Rich.

Got them on mine Pete, dont take mine on the road much, but probably gets a harder life being trailled over sand / into salt water than the average... - Sound investment, havent had to even adjust my bearings yet in a couple of years hard use :win: -
