Marine seals on my camper trailer

HI.This is how I do it for a boat trailer to make it water proof.Steel sleeve presses into the rear of the hub(with a light smear of silastic around the outside after the bearing has been installed) and is then lubricated with grease.The rubber section pushes onto the axle also with a smear of grease around the outside.I seal the centre onto the axle with silastic,once dry it lockes it into position and makes it completely water proof.You need to put the hub on before the silastic dries so that it pushes the rubber into the correst position then leave it for the silastic to dry over a couple of hours.I also put silastic around the outer cap where it pushes into the hub. My current trailer has gone 5 years without a trace of water ingress. Regards,Bob.

The correct installation proceedure for installing marine seals to a camper trailer is as follows:

1. Get a couple of dead fish...... the smellier the better.

2. Wave them in front of the seal's nose then toss them up onto the camper's bed.

3. The seal will jump up onto the bed and install himself comfortably.

4. Add more fish as necessary to maintain the installation.

5. Don't worry about the smell .... the seal loves it!

Hawhawhawhaw........ sorry, couldnt help it! lol

Who cares, as long as I get at least a couple of decent answers, I can work it out. Could not find any diagramatic views on the Net.

Cheers
