    I have always used these bearing buddy on my boats. After cleaning and repacking the bearings on my travel trailer,which was an incredibly messy job, one that I didn’t ever want to do again the bearing buddy was the answer.

    I put these on my boat trailer. The original factory parts were showing signs of wear and leakage. These were an easy bet and gave me the confidence I needed that I wouldn’t run into trouble in the future.

    Did a wheel bearing replacement job on my Triton boat trailer and then topped the job off with new SS Bearing Buddy(s). I like the visual blue indicator showing the grease load level in the buddy housing.

Bearing Buddies for Boat Trailers

Trailering, even a short distance, heats the hubs. When the wheels are submerged during launching, the hubs suddenly cool and the air inside the unprotected hubs contracts, forming a vacuum which draws in water through the rear seals. There is no such thing as a rotating seal that stays perfect. Water and grit thus drawn into the hubs relentlessly destroy bearings. When properly installed and maintained, these little marine Bearing Buddy guard wheel bearing system from failure and eliminates bearing repacking. Boat trailer wheels can be completely submerged.

Utility Equipment, ATV, Horse, Camping, Snowmobile and other occasional used trailers

These tow trailers, because they are not used regularly, are also subject to bearing corrosion and failure from condensation moisture from air sucked into hot hubs as they cool. Moisture stays in the hubs causing rust and pitting until they are reheated when the trailer is used again.
On any vehicle, protecting your wheel bearings from dirt, dust, water, salt, sand and other contaminants is critical, so when it comes to using grease caps, you don"t have much of a choice. That"s their job. You either use them and your wheel bearings will remain useful, or you don"t, and your wheel bearings wear out in a hurry.
