There was plenty of grease, but the bearings were shattered. Moral of the story is check those bearings. These bearings were just installed a year ago and had plenty of grease. Luckily we got a new set of bearings, and got the boat home. Thank god the wheel didnt come off going down the road. Man what a scary deal..

That is true. ... all it takes is a couple of minutes with a floor jack to get the tire off the ground to check freeplay and then spin the tire to hear any roughness or noise... i gotta admit i don't check as often as i used to.
