So I went out with the wife today and some family for a nice little outing and we get back to the house and the little rubber cover on my hub buddy pops off as I back the boat into the driveway. I think nothing of it until I look a little closer. It seems My hubs with the brakes on it is a little hot, and I check the other side and its the same thing. Grease is oozing out of the hubs, and I smell burnt rubber, almost like hot brakes. I also noticed that when I was driving home my truck seemed to labor a little (it was only a 10 mile drive and really hot so I didn't think much of it at the time)in pulling the trailer around. I am new to owning a boat, not being on one so what should I look for? I pulled the trailer electrical connection and when I did a little water poured out. Near as I can tell I got it wet and shorted out the brakes so they were always on, but tell me what I should look for to help in the self diagnosis. Thanks for the help in advance.
