Durahub Bearing Protectors

Fitted a set to the tandem boat dual axel trailer, with about 4 tonnes all up weight.

Towed it Mandurah to Exmouth & back, then Mandurah to Pt Samson & back including a few trips in and out the Gravel corrugated Whim Creek Balla Balla road retrieving the boat to avoid cyclones etc.
They've been in and out of the water inummerable times to launch and retrieve over about 3 years now.

Never missed a beat and some of the gravel road trips were thru thick mud & bog holes on the Balla - Balla / Whim Creek road after the cyclones had passed.

Never experienced any problems with stones knocking the hubs out - they are the best thing I ever fitted!

I've used grease & bearing buddies on my old boat trailer for 10 years commercial charter work and never had a bearing failure either - but did need to change bearings about every 2 years due to water ingress and rust etc - not so with the oil lube dura hubs on a much bgger heavier boat doing far greater distances.

Just seems I have a different (positive) experience to this poster is all.

I was worried about the problem, of maybe losing a oil hub cover so always carried 4 spare gease hubs in the truck just in case - but have never used them, due to not needing too.

To each his own - I reckon you can't beat them for Boat trailer use but that MIGHT be different to caravan use - up to you to decide.

Cheers

I second that.
The guy who recently bought my house was bringing his brand new 4 Winns boat up from Brisbane to Bribie .
He was late and the phone went. It was him to say he had lost a wheel off his boat trailer. Off we went to help him.
When we got there we found the nuts had loosened and the wheel had come off cutting the tyre to bits on the steel mudguard and breaking the remaining studs off.
It also knocked the cap off the DURAHUB letting all the oil out
We were going to fix it up with the spare but couldnt find the cap for the hub so couldnt move it.
Useless things a greased hub would have been Ok for 10k.

Just as an aside when we went around the wheels two of the remaining 3 had nuts that were only finger tight and they were rusty and obviously not new.
This rig was straight out of the yard that day.
This on an $80,000 purchase. I wont name the dealer.
