So you can just pump grease in there and not worry about it pushing out the seals and getting into the drum brake?

Beermunk,

I did the same thing with my anchor lite on my toon the first time I pulled it home. I had the top down and wrapped a rope around it so it wouldn't flap but I still lost the light. Nothing but wires hanging there when I got it home.

Boat looks awesome. Congratulations and Enjoy!

sounds good, then bearing buddies aren't needed.

Hey beermunk!
Kickass!!! Glad to see you got that baby home sweet home!!!
It looks awesome!! It also looks PISSED like mine does, sitting in the snow... LOL!! :lala

As far as pumping grease into the hubs goes, ya need to do that sloooowly... dont just pump it in there Hard as it will deff blow out the back and get into the brakes.
Just take your time, and it will push the old junk out as the new stuff replaces it.

Congrats again!!! :ten :nana
