I ordered up a tach. Thank you.

Thanks for the info. I see there is a 55# on sale right now, so I’ll probably go that route. Good thinking on just bringing the extra battery when needed and leave it at home when not.

I have the little metal thing that gets inserted to release the brakes when the trailer is not connected to the 6 pin connector. In my case anyway, the 6 pin signals the brakes not to actuate when in reverse. I did have the release in the hitch when checking the spin on the brakes. I’m sure the metal insert will be handy when trying to push the boat around in the garage without the truck hooked up.

After Iowaboy’s comments, I think what heat I’m experiencing is normal. The hubs are fully packed with grease, the bearing buddy’s are not overfull, and the brake pads are riding ever so slightly off the rotor. Time to go fishing and tubing.

Thanks everyone.

If it were up to me, I would just repack the bearings every year and not have bearing buddies. I’ve heard too much pressure on the grease can cause the tires to wear funny, but I have no proof of that.

iowaboy1, thank you for the reply. It sounds like what I am experiencing is very normal. I appreciate the response.

I’ve always been a nut about checking the hubs when I stop. Don’t want to end up burning one up on the highway and having to try and figure out how to get it fixed.

Thanks everyone. Just have to decide on one and go with it. I like the range of the fixed unit. I’m going to look tonight and see where it would mount nicely in the boat.

They have been sold.
