Durahubâ„¢ works to make sure your boat's trailer is built to last.

October 1, 2006

If you're an avid boater, you want a trailer that's built to last.  Durahubâ„¢, a new wheel-bearing protector system that utilizes a bath-oil design, is made to extend the life expectancy of trailer bearings, preventing wheel-bearing failure and the need for constant maintenance. Durahub creates a controlled environment around the wheel bearing through a rubber diaphragm, which maintains internal hub pressure by expanding and contracting, keeping the wheel bearing constantly lubricated with Durahub Bearing Oil.  Made of stainless steel, the protectors can be completely submerged into salt water without corrosive damage. With the clear polycarbonate lens, you can easily monitor oil levels at any time. The Durahub Kit costs $149.99 and comes complete with everything needed for self-installation, including two stainless-steel Durahub caps, a variety of oil seals, a tube of Loctite 51517, a bottle of Durahub Bearing Oil, and instructions.  (877) 387-2482, www.durahub.com.
