Wiggled the HPF wire going to the switch and it kicked on. I tried turning it on before I touched anything and it clicked as if it was turning on then a quick click off and the flashed HPF. I got to go with RT on this and say its either the switch or the wiring. Does tha switch send a ground back to the panel shutting off or does the circuit open.

Couldn't find anything on ocean marine is ocean breeze marine the same thing?

I lost a wheel bearing last Sunday on the way home. took the tire off, chained the axel up and limped home on three.
Going to tear into it this afternoon.

Sucks for sure, I'm keeping all new spare parts with me at all times. Should just by a all in one hub, only problem with that is I have 2 axles with brakes and 1 without, and the hubs aren't the same.

Back to the AC unit I found this for sale on ebay, it may be my only solution unless these switches are universal.

when ever i build a trailer i use dexter axles and spec them with ez lube spindles the spindle is drilled all the way to the area between the inner seal and the inner bearing so when you pump it with grease it has to go from the inner bearing and come all the way through the outer bearing the entire is filled with grease they use a double inner seal so the grease does not come out on your brakes i have been doing this for 25 years and have had good luck this way

The new boat has bearing buddies. The SCARAB had the EZ lube axels like weldcrane described. Much better setup. You can repack the wheel in about 5 minutes without taking anything apart.

Is the board bad in the control box?

I don't think so. There is a light that comes on when it kicks on and off. Gonna dunk the boat tomorrow ill know more then.

Same issue. Still flashes HPF as soon as its on. Compressor nor pump will do any thing. I tried unplugging the switch for the high and low switches on the circuit board but still flashes. I'm guessing I'll need to short the lead out to by pass it?

Dam you guys.... Now your going to make me check my bearing buddies when I get home tonight.

MY one bad bearing turned into a bad drop spindle that is no longer available. So I then needed to replace both axels since the wheel height will be an issue if I replace only one axel. I then planed to replace both square axels with new round axels and electric brake system. That changed when I told them the surge coupler was welded to the frame of the trailer. So the two new axels and electric brakes on two axels at $1150 went to two axels with hydraulic brakes on both at $1500 +, And the trailer still needs new fenders ( beat up ), sand blasting and repainting.
Had a change of mind and just said SCREW it and ordered a new Manning all aluminum trailer with electric brakes on both axels. Oh and they are going to do a temporary repair on the old axel so I can go boating the next 4 weekends until I get the new trailer.
SO my simple weld a new round spindle to my existing axel turned into a new $6000 tricked out trailer. I can't wait to see it under the boat. Should make it really stand out. Wheels should look hot.
