Has anyone here switched the UFP oil bath hubs on their boat axles to Buddie Bearings and grease. I have found posts all over the place that talk about converting but none where it was actually completed. I have the UFP 3500# axles. I emailed UFP and they replied that I would have to change the hubs and rotors as well as the seals and protectors. Most posts I have found claim all you need is new seals and Buddie Bearing caps. The oil has leaked out of most of the hubs and the servicing allen bolt's are seized and rusted in 4 of the 6 hubs. I'm looking for if it has been done with seals and buddie bearings without having to change hubs/rotors. Thanks.....
