Out of curiosity, what is the mechanism that causes over greasing to ruin a seal? Is it simply an over pressure sort of thing?
Okay… if I’m going to tackle overhaul myself, is it simply a matter of disassembling the Hubs, replacing worn parts, and regreasing with something other than 2-4c maybe? Do I need to completely clean...
Spare are always a good idea, I ordered a pack of 6, so hopefully they fit. I’ll be sure to pass on an update later this week…as far as the grease that’s currently in the hubs, should I just throw...
Does anyone know how hard it would be to paint match? Boat is a triton aluminum in gloss black so I figure it’s be easy enough, is there a certain kind of paint to use?
Would there be any reason for me to remove the metal cup end that the rubber cap presses into? As far as servicing/maintaining is this ever necessary
Thanks again to all for he guidance! I finally had the time this morning to look into it, it appears it could have be a super simple fix. The rubber dust caps have degraded to the point they are...
Gotcha, the thing is I don’t have any grease coming out the back side(closer to the centerline of the trailer) it all appears to be coming from the front underneath the rubber cap. If I were to have...
Not necessarily, is there a model number or something you’d recommend? I’ve seen their spider rig holders, but was unsure of how that hold up to trolling multiple planer boards. I haven’t looked much...
Hey y’all, I don’t know where else to ask so this may be my best bet. I’m looking into installing some Scotty rod holders on my VT17. I troll for walleye more than bass fish these days, so I’d like...
I’m debating installing some Scotty flush mount rod holders on the top of the gunnel in my bass boat. One of my major hesitations is if the need arises, how could I go about covering/patching/filling...
Is the seal on the inner or outer side of the hub? Is this something I could find locally or will I likely need to order online?
Is the rubber cap actually a seal? I was under the impression it was more so just a dust cap to keep junk out.
I’m tried to get a picture this morning but I can’t figure out how to upload it within the size limits. It looks a lot like this atleast from the outside....
It’s been a little bit since I’ve had a good look at it, I want to say it’s a rubber cap on the outside, and underneath that is a zerk. Not sure that I remember any sort of metal cap.
Thanks for the replies…. I had just gotten the boat (first time owning anything with a trailer) and I was unsure of previous maintenance history and wanted to be on the safe side after a buddy of...
Hey y’all, I need some help troubleshooting my trailer hubs. It is a triton single axle trailer, no brakes, and I believe it has EZ hubs or some variation. Maybe a year ago, I attempted to degrease...
Interesting, makes sense to me… but on the drain from the live well circuit, would a bad switch cause a current leak? I don’t know how else I’d be showing a 20ma draw from that circuit with the...
Thanks!! I guess I won’t worry about messing with it any further, but out of curiosity, what could be causing the current drain in the first place?
So if I’m reading this right, on the 10a setting, my meter shows 0.00, a measured value of 0.02 would be 20ma? 0.20 being 200ma? If I switch the meter to the 200m setting, it reads 00.0, so a measure...
So after a busy couple weeks I’ve finally gotten some time to work on the boat. I’ve been testing my disconnected battery almost daily with a volt meter, still showing 13v so I think my battery is...
I think my best bet will be adding the fuse block under the dash, I found a good spot to mount it that’s easily accessible and dry. Front fuse block I’ll run under my rod locker lid as suggested.
...
Thanks for all the replies… after some fiddling around I think I may be getting somewhere. Hopefully one last question, should I stick with the 30a blue sea 187 breaker for the fuse block feeder, or...
how do you mount the block to the lid without screws coming through the deck?
I’ve considered that as well, but was trying to keep costs down somewhat. Would the advantage to adding a fuse block up front be future proofing my setup if I decide to add another graph or...
So I’m in the process of rewiring my boat and would like some clarification before I go any further. I’m adding an Ultrex, as well as a second graph to the console. I hunk I’ve figured out the TM...
