    Bearing buddy issues

    I'm wondering if the hubs are getting hot, normally the covers don't come off unless pulled off. Do you have a IR temp gun to measure temps. Could drip a drop or two of water or spit on the hub after a run and before launching boat to see if it sizzles

    Muc some of this you know I'm just repeating Called Merc Tech support, Larry said it's no issue if one starts before the other.
