Boca Bearings

[bmatte8]

I know there are quite a few threads on here already about the boca bearings, but I figured I'd get some updated info. I just had a set of orange seal bearings put in both my Citicas and my Lews Inshore. I read somewhere on here that they perform best without the seals???? Another thing I want to make sure I know is the typical maintenance that goes into keeping these bearings performing like they should. Im sure a bunch of you have experience with them so any input would be awesome.
