About three weeks ago I took my boat out after not fishing for about 6 months. Wen f on Concord to Holland tract. Stopped to get gas in Oakley and we could smell got brakes. Rims were scorching hot and grease was being thrown from the bearings. Fished anyway.
On the way home things seemed better.
Went to berryesssa a couple of weeks later. The night before, I pulled the tires and checked the brakes. The trailer has hydraulic surge brakes. (Ranger trailer). Right side had a little rust on the rotor but was not locked up. Same on left side. Everything looked OK. Went to the lake up 80/505 through Winters. No issues there and back.
About three days later, went back to the Delta, got to Holland and the hub covers were gone and grease had been thrown out. I had regressed the hub's prior to going to Berryesssa.
Is there something wrong with the brake system or my bearings?
Who should I take it to? Diablo Marine and Trailer or BoatMasters?
