    What would Red Green say?
    If it ain’t broke, you’re not trying hard enough.

    Thanks John for the help with Victory Auto Service in Cross Lake. Bearings all OK, replaced rear seals and re greased bearings. One brake pad for the surge brakes was found to have broken off of its backing and had gotten pinched between the rotor and caliper. Replaced brake pad. Flushed, filled and bleed the brakes. Tires checked good. So off for another year of trailering the boat to fantastic fishing adventures.

    …….I know farmers in the ag industry who drive through cattle yards and slop with feed wagons who don’t change a wheel bearing for lifetimes…..

    I’m off the farm for a good 50 years now, but the feed wagons I towed never reached 70 mph.
