When we brought the boat home back in November, I removed the rubber caps from the hubs. One was black and looked like it had thrown all the grease out at some point in it's life. So I took the caps off of them all and cleaned everything up real good, added the grease as per the instructions and put the caps back on. So while going over all the wiring on the trailer, I stopped and was thinking about where I was and the next steps. I pulled one of the rubber caps off and water came out.
So sometime over the wonderful wet winter we had this year, water has made it behind the caps and just keeps condisating. The caps were on real good as we have had some good heat off and on. I pumped grease into them again as they were all at the add level again. Boat hasn't moved since we brought it home. When I greased today, no water came out, just the high temp red grease, and not very much.
Should I be worried?
