Sorry, this deal is gone

These are normally around $30

I decided to keep a spare in the boat after having one fall apart on the way home from Bimini last year.

Thanks @Bruce. Ordered a few for my summer trip. Spending a month in Florida with the family! Here's a code for $10 when order over $50. It works!-)Screenshot_20170112-211312.png

@Bruce just trying to confirm diameter. On the Northern Tool site listed above I only see 1 7/8" buddies and do not see a listing for 1.98" by the same brand. Did they change their listing perhaps since you ordered?

@ zipper, I used the link to purchase new bearing buddies a few months ago, long story short, embarrassingly I didn't do any research or make any changes, when the bearing buddies arrived I didn't try to install them right away, turns out they were the wrong size (i.e., too big). You need the 1.980" diameter I think the bearing buddy model number is 1980 (SS for stainless steel). I found competing brands, that fit and come with covers/caps, at auto zone, west marine, etc. for less than $20 a pair but ended up ordering the correct bearing buddies from amazon for $22 with free shipping as an amazon prime member.

@zipper, @ Ronnie the product at the link must have changed. Sorry about that.
