## Discrepancy

INBD MAIN WHEEL SEALS ON FLOATS LEAK EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GREASE. IF GREASE IS NOT REMOVED FREQUENTLY IT CAN LEAK ON TO BRAKES CAUSING A FIRE.  GREASE IS LEAKING FROM BETWEEN M/W HUB AND SEAL DUE TO A LOOSE FIT.  UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, ALL AMPHIB FLOATS FOUND TO HAVE THIS ISSUE.
