Wheel Bearing Maintenance
They make a 2 piece bearing greaser but the old fashion way was big glob of grease in your palm and rolll the grease in. I have found a trick to use a thick ziplock bag with a good amount of grease, put the bearing in the bag and twist or get all the air out then force the grease into the bearing much cleaner than in the hands. I also think it forces the grease in better.

Minn Kota Alternator Charger / Battery Issue
From whay you said about the lake it appears you are only running the big motor a very limited time (great for the gas budget) but if you are startign the boat 10 times and only running it 1/2 mile thats not helping charging that battery much. Then fishing for 8+ hours with all your electronics on is doing in that 24 series battery. I have never heard of any 24 series walmart battery being a "good one" The 29 series MAX Marine are know for being good ones. Your problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Marginal battery, no run time for the big motor to replenish the battery and you are fishing to long. One needs to be fixed. I'll look but bing a newer motor you should have a pretty good charging rate from the BRP 90 but it needs to run a bit during the day to charge that WM 24DP

Minn Kota Alternator Charger / Battery Issue
That old 24 series is the problem. It doesnt have a great deal of reserve AH. Get yourself a good dual purpose battery and go up to a 27. I highly recommend the Autozone Duralast Marine battery. Mine went 5 years and never had a problem fishing 8 hours running 2 graphs and pumps . They now have a 29 series thats only $10 more , never can have to much if you can fit it the boat. As far as the charger question. What motor do you have ? That determines it amp output. The Minnkota is limited to 10 amps but others like the TrollBridge can go higher if the gas motor has a large enough "alternator" or stator. One 1 mile run will not do much no matter what you have. But a 20 mile day will make a difference specially with the TrollBridge and a outboard with 35+amp output.

Horse power rating
The Manufactures are allowed +-10% so those 200 hp pushing 220 and those 225 Ho's at 247.5 are still legal. I hope to soon have a 250 pushing a LEGAL 275Hp. Your 115 may be in the 105 to 125 range. If its a older motor the HP may have been at the crank and then you really only have 95 in todays terms. If you are ever caught in a tournament or worse in a accident you will be sorry. You might be able to have the motor detuned or the Coast Guard approve the combinatation.

No more WBT
I have been down this road with the kids. It's all about profits. They are holding on by strings. All the good people are gone at bass and the offices is empty. The few that are left can never turn things around. bass as we know it is all but dead. To those few still trying; thanks, we know it wasn't your decissions that ruined something good these past few years.

Help Stolen Mailbox, My Mailbox was last seen early Sunday morning, I live in the area of the CT RI line. It closely resemebles a 10LB Bass. It appears as if it was cut right of the post. I would estimate it now weighs 9.44 lbs as the culprit left some on the post.
