This trailer came with my used boat I bought in the spring, I'm only using it local only and storage as I am increasingly finding it to be a piece of junk.
It's a 2006ish Tidewater single torson Axle with disc brakes. The cap has a zinc fitting, I and when I popped it off, it just feeds grease to the spindle nut area... No bearing buddies or anything of the sort. Is this low tech/ doesn't grease the bearings themselves?
I pumped them full and grease easily (not much pressure) came out the relief holes in the back (2nd photo).
What should I make of this system? I towed it 5 miles for gas and both hubs were rather hot to the touch. Anyone else have a hub/ spindle like this?
