    K2 hubs?

    Of course it’s taken me a month to notice that the trailer has K2 hubs and not Vault. Really can’t seem to find much info on these Hubs. I found an older BBC post but nothing since.
    Does anyone have a further info on these K2 hubs.

    we have a post on this somewhere down in the thread list and I got a pdf from the thread owner on the hub. Still, I pulled my boat 1000 miles last Saturday with never having looked at the PDF. If I had an issue, I would have a problem. I'm semi-mechanical but don't really understand exactly the role of the hub vs the axle.

    Looks like Bass cat has gotten away from the Vault hubs as well. Always had great service from the Vault hubs. I just like to carry a seal and bearings when on the road just in case. The Lucas grease is easy to get.

    I think BC went back to the Buddy Bearings and regular grease.....not sure why they all changed especially if there was never any issues....if it ain't broke…

    Here’s Ken Smith talking with Rick Pierce at Bass Cat on trailers, Hubs and brakes.

    Fantastic info. Just converted my trailer to bearing buddys after my second vault blow out.
