Question:
I am curious if Dexter or another manufacturer makes this same hub drum galvanized that is threaded where the dust cap or bearing buddy would go. Essentially, I am looking for a hub drum that is oil bath ready designed to go into salt water applications. Thanks!

I cannot find anyone who makes a hub similar to the # 8-201-51UC3 which has a threaded cap. We do have the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE2440KIT which will fit these hubs so you can run oil in your hubs. Or you could look at having the drums machined so you could use a Cap # VA73JR.

Hey, did the Kodiak XL ProLube kit or machining the drums for the threaded cap end up giving you the oil bath setup you wanted for saltwater use? Knowing what worked might help others trying to protect their hubs the same way.
