Pan Pan - Need Bearing Buddy part number for trip home

Post by Catigale »

I lost a Bearing Buddy trailering down last weekend and am trying to get a replacement via a friend in MASS while I am sailing the Cape

Car and Trailer currently down in Westport MA awaiting my return Friday or Saturday with no bearing cover. I did bag it before launch and kept the inside dry but would like at least a dust cover for the 200 mile trip home

If anyone knows the part number for a bearing buddy, or the hub inside diameter could you please email it to me using EM button below?

cheers Stephen

Well I came back to Westport to find a note on my windshield saying

"You lost a bearing cover so I put my spare on"

No name or number

:?

I love boating...

That is awesome. Thats why I like helping fellow boaters (especially if theyre sober so theyll remember to help others).
Ive been helped too, and its a great satisfaction to provide help.

There's some fine folks out yonder :!:
