Prepping for our next big adventure

Currently getting prepared for our next big adventure, we spent the day going through the trailer doing an overhaul to make sure everything is ready for our trip.

On American trailers We always used some sika on the rear seal and front cap to help keep water out. Those rear seals are useless at keeping water out. Any little thing helps

I have the same axles. 2yrs old and the rear seal seat was grooved. And that grease nipple set up they have is crap and lets water in once the seal leaks a little. My hubs had heaps of water inside and the bearings rusty. So i speedy sleeved the seal seat and put good marine seals in. Yours is speedy sleeved by the looks of it and has covered that grease hole so pumping with grease is useless now.. Runs perfectly now no water what so ever..

Hey guys, what setup would you reccomend for about $300 chasing spangos up north off the beach with lures? And some good spots in Exmouth?

Better get some maintenance done on that trailer seriously

[@Crabman_87]

and don't forget people. If you're paranoid your bearings are getting hot on a long trip, check you tyre pressures. Too low and the whole lot runs warmer than normal.

[@TackleWest]

Yes better to check and be safe then sorry’

[@benkalajzich7310]

You shouldn’t put new bearings in old races! The west to match each other. I’d be checking them again very soon.

I was going to say the same thing just asking for trouble 35years as a fitter

[@travisodoherty9678]

Is that an Amera Trail trailer? I thought it was 5 yr maintance free guarentee. Load launch relax they say 😅. I am having a brand new trailer built by them with lots of upgrades and a triple axel. Clearly your needed attention but I don’t get why so soon. You indicated that you’ve only done a few trips on it, I’m not sure how many miles that equates out to, but this situation has me puzzled ?

[@TackleWest]

Yeh it’s an Amara trail trailer but we are in Australia mate. It’s done a few trips but I guess probably enough to warrant water getting in. Lucky I checked them!

I’m after each use of my trailer I always use Inox on my hubs and all over the trailer
