[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 477636, member: 12995"] If you have bearing buddies, be careful not to over grease or it could push out the seal. Adding grease will help push out any water that might have gotten pulled in. I always wait a while when I get to the ramp to let the bearings cool down some before backing the trailer in. I also disconnect the lights to reduce the chance of a hot bulb burning out in cold water but that's just me. I think I greased my hubs once or twice in the last 6 years but I don't tow a lot once the boat is in the water for the season. The 2nd boat I had got trailered every time and I greased them a lot more often. [/QUOTE]
