Oil bath hub ???

[Hook'em-AND-Cook'em]

My triton boat trailer has the oil bath hubs. If they are like the bearing buddies (grease ones), they put about 3 psi of pressure on the grease/oil to prevent water from getting in the hub. I had the grease type on my old boat and this is done by spring pressure. But what about the oil type? I changed the oil in them, but the site window is flush with the hub now, so there is no pressure exerted on the oil. You can take a pair of needle nose and pull the window out some, but as soon as you let go they are sucked back in. Is there a special way to fill these so that the window stick out and pressure is applied to the oil???

oil bath hubs are not supose to be slap full. some of the guys i know running them have not messed with them in 5 years of owning there boats..basicly i know from running 18 wheelers there a frikin mess to deal with..

I sstill am not convinced that these are worth the money. My main concern is traveling a long distance then putting a hot assembly in the water to launch the boat. I assume they have a vent of some type on the axles to prevent a very quick cooling of the hubs and oil to prevent failure.
