Do I need to repack bearings?

[DAnderson]

I recently had to submerge the hubs of rear wheels of my truck in order to launch and load my Champ. Do I need to have the hubs repacked? I tried to get them out as quick as possible, so was probably less than a minute launching and only a few minutes loading. Thanks for your help.

If in saltwater, have it checked. If it was fresh, don't worry about it.

No salt water in KS. At least that we fish in anyway. I'd say no longer than they were in the water don't worry about it.

I wouldnt worry about it either, out here we gots to back em way down to get the boat off the trailer too, never had a problem. theres a ramp at amistad that the water is 15 or 20 yrads in front of the truck when the boat finally floats

Errr wouldn't the truck be submerged?

It's probably a low water ramp. With the lake up, it's probably a long way out before it starts sloping off. I've run into that aournd here a time or two. Backed out until I could see water in front of the vehicle and still not to the ramp ...
