Could really use a recommendation on wheel bearing grease for a boat trailer. I've learned a good bit about engine oils on this site, but Grease is a whole new world for me it seems. I'm getting ready to rebuild the undercarriage of my boat trailer. I've never had a bearing failure (thanks to Bearing Buddys), but it's time, and I've seen plenty on the side of the road here in FL that have. I really want a high quality grease packing the bearings because often I am right against the max weight of the trailer given boat, gear, fuel, larger engines, etc. I really need something that can stand up to:
Heat and more Heat - this is Florida summers with brake drums on each hub
Extended use and speed - a long haul is 5-6 hrs @ 70 mph
About 1500 lbs at each hub
100% salt-water almost every weekend
It seems that Amsoil sells a Water Resistent grease aimed at trailers:

Any thoughts?
