I have a 2012 Tracker Pro 165 on its original trailer, purchased it about 3 months ago. I'm sure it needs some work put into the trailer, but I know little about trailer maintenance.

 

In the attached photos I see a zerk fitting on the left, so this must be an E-Z lube setup, not a bearing buddy? In which case should I just pump some new marine grease in there and call it a day, or should I be taking the hub apart to inspect the bearings/seals?

 

If I have to replace any bearings or seals, I have no idea what to buy.

Yes this an easy lube setup on these trailers. There should be a rubber cover that fits in the hole in that dust cap. You do need to take it apart and clean out the hub and bearings to check out what there condition is. You will need to replace the seals and the dust cap. Once I take the dust cap off of my trailer it always is too loose to fit right. I would take the parts to a parts supplier to make sure they match up everything as it should be. You can take it to a marine dealer and they will take care of your hubs and bearings but it will be fairly expensive. During the year you will need to pump grease into them ocasionally. I take mine apart every other year but it doesn't get a lot of heavy use.

Bass pro should be able to give you the information you desire from the vin number on the trailer.

Don't bet on getting any help from BPS. I went to a BPS that was fairly new several years ago and tried to get some info on 1998 Tracker. They said they didn't have anything on one that old.

I would absolutely tear that all apart and inspect everything. Honestly as cheap as they are, I'd be inclined to rebuild it for peace of mind. Look on the axle for a tag with the info you need.

I agree. There is info on YouTube on how to do it.

 

The last thing you want to happen is have a bearing go on a trip. 

 

You can start here, they have the parts and some nice videos on trailer bearings.
