Is there going to be a puma sp for 2020? I read somewhere about it. Any information?

Yes, it matches 2019 Cougar FTD equipment and you can take your pick.

We dropped Vault thixotropic hubs for grease Bearing Buddy hubs. In a larger move they went to DOT 5 brake fluid, at about 4 to 5 times the cost, to eliminate the common problem of rusting master cylinders.

I never had a problem with bearing buddies in the last 30 years owning a basscat.

Are the bearing buddies on all boats for 2020 or just the SP boats?

Bearing Buddy across the board on torsion and welding spring axles.

DOT 5 fluids on brakes also.

Will the wheel center caps have to be removed to grease the bearing buddies or will center caps have a hole in the center for access without removing them as i have the Prowler wheels coming on my trailer??

We do not suggest pumping grease into any axles. We suggest you repack them occasionally (about 5 years) by hand and replace the seals. The return to grease hubs is going to require consumers learning that Bass Cat had an excellent success rate with grease hubs before.

We have never suggested or endorsed placing a grease gun on the hubs. We will have to re-teach that all over again.

For some reason our posts double taps.
