Does any one have any advice on trailer bearings?? I am in fresh water only. My trailer has grease fittings right in the end of the axles. You pull a little rubber plug and grease these fittings. Today I pulled my wheels only to find chunks of grease around the inside of the rim on all four...

What would you recommend. It will be used on Lake Erie in less than 75' of water!!!

Good job Dan, you kept dogging the problem and now it sounds like you have a answer. Hope it works for you !!!!

I tried those ping pong ball jobs and ended up taking them off. I have a 228G and had to move my gas tank forward to the cuddy door so my scuppers would work right. They were under the water and wouldn't drain properly. It had too much weight in the back of the boat!!! All work down as per...

I'm still trying to figure out how to get to it!!! I need a four ft. screwdriver or five foot arms to reach it. It would be a good idea to at least check it out!!! Any ideas as to how to reach it???

My boat is ten years old. Also my boat is trailered to lake Erie on the average of once a week in season from May until Nov.

Dug the fuse cap out of the holder and it looked like it said it was 4 amp. I am still going to put a larger one in.

Dan, If all else fails. Keep it for the mapping qualities and buy a Lowrance for a fish finder !!!!! That $265 that HB wants to check it out will go a ways buying a new unit!!!! Does the unit have a simulator mode, may be that will show you something!!! Keep me posted.

That is what I like , a simple answer!!! I'll check that out,Thanks!!

Jimmy, they are the original pumps. The one I can see is four foot from my reach and can't read what it says. I checked them out on the West Marine sight and looks like one of the biggest ones draw 6 amps. So I think I am going with a 7 amp fuse in my blue seas fuse box. The wires look like...

I know the ratings are on the metal caps. That doesn't do me any good if they are stuck in the holder now does it. If it was that easy I wouldn't of ask any one!!!! I'm glad I decided to rewire them and they broke checking them out.

In sorting out my wiring I opened two in line fuse holders that I am quite sure goes to the builge pumps. While taking the holders apart the glass fuse broke and I can't tell what amp the fuse was. I have installed a new fuse panel and would like to put the proper size fuse in for them.

Personally I would get rid of every in line fuse holder that I could and use a fuse panel type holder. Also I would use an electrical grease on all connections and fuses.

Looks like some of my wires!!! I have my fues box and mu buss bars ready to mount. Then I will start cleaning up some wiring.

Talking about hard to get at spots. I bought a air buffer, it has 3' foam pads and it does one hell of a good job on those hard to get to places. I think I only gave around $80.00 for the buffer, It came in a kit with extra pads and a nice carrying box.

I use a product called De-Ox. I have used it for seven years in the construction field. I wouldn't be without it or something like it. Seeing is believing!!! Yes I do put it on wires before I crimp them!!!

John, that grease you were talking about, I'm having my purchasing guy try to get some for a few of us to try out. We will have to be careful as I see it is conductive and the product that we use isn't. I sure they will both have their place. We do a lot of wiring on equipment and remote control...

I don't think it is over kill at all, as long as you feel good about the job that is all that matters. Nice test also. Those terminals look like the ones we have a work, what brand are they? You couldn't be more right talking about the proper crimping tool!! I show this to all of our new guys of...

Where do you think it is needed??? Personally on mine I think I will use non insulated terminals with an electrical grease a good crimp and then heat shrink. That is just my opinion from my experience in construction.

Batteries My Grady is ten years old and I am going to put the third set of batteries in this spring!!!!!!!!! Keep an eye on them and check the water.
