oil bath hubs

[007]

All of my previous boat trailers have had bearing buddies. My current boatmate has the oil bath hubs. The are supposed to be maintenance free.

The trailer is going on 2 years old now. No issues and I don't trailer as much as I used to, but I still get some 200+ mile pulls in.

Anybody have long term experience with them?
Road side emergency supplies thought?

I don't really have any idea on how to service or replace them if I needed to. thanks.

I had them on my boat and last year (after 8 years) I had one fail and it took out the spindle, brake disc and bearings. I wound up ordering this whole unit:

While I was replacing that, I checked the oil and seals in the other 3 and only found 1 that was missing any oil. My trailer had tens of thousands of miles on it too.

As a preventative measure, is there a way to check oil levels in these. I'm unfamiliar with this design but have on my boatmate trailer
