Lost my Well Bearing on Cascade Highway 10 miles from Wiciup Res limp on in had to use water to cool off the hub was able to put my boat in the Lake thank goodness for AAA BEST INVESTMENT towed to Les Swabs needs a new axle lucky me. put new tires on the trailer 13 months ago and had bearing redone of course 12 month warranty lucky me. I am investing in a new bearing hub I understand is fully contained and in Oil a local fisherman at the lake showed me his. Being placed on trailer presently, don't want to do this again kind of put a bummer on your trip and the tournament. PLEASE Check your bearing at least once a year it can be and expensive lesson.

After having work like this done, another thing to check is the lug nuts. My buddy recently lost a wheel and snapped a couple lug bolts because the lugs weren't tight enough. The wheel went into a high speed wobble and ruined the wheel and hub.
