Can Oil Bath Hubs Seal and Cap Be Used with Grease
Updated 03/28/2024 | Published 03/25/2024
Question:
I’m looking to convert my 2004 MasterCraft boat trailer from oil bath to grease hubs. Can you help me with the parts I will need to get this done? The ID of the current hub is 1.98 non threaded. Thanks! Don

Oil bath seals and dust covers on the hub are perfectly fine to use with a grease setup Don. All you really have to do is remove all of the oil and then pack the hubs with grease instead. For grease I would go with the LMX Red grease like the part # L11390 which is very heavy duty and waterproof.

Thanks Jameson! I do think I will need the rear hub seals though since I will have to remove the seal to access the bearing. Can you tell me which seals would fit that?
