Please pass the information to SKF and Timken, i Think they have it all wrong
So you have no explanation for millions of boat trailers, packed full of grease, and no issues (not from "over greasing" anyway). Real World, it's not an issue.

Pg 52 and 84 would be the ones youre looking for from my prior posted link.
I think the argument could be made that most (not all) boat trailers are used in different conditions than many utility or RV trailers.So you have no explanation for millions of boat trailers, packed full of grease, and no issues (not from "over greasing" anyway). Real World, it's not an issue.

Likely shorter trips and immersion in water are two factors. Boats trailers can benefit from the hubs being full of grease and its my understanding that the EZ lube was created for them in order to push any water intrusion out of the hub. I believe some boat trailer axles require a different type of grease ( I dont own a boat so I have no experience there) The warm hub when immersed in cooler water will pull the water into the hub. Boat trailers live in an even more harsh environment than other type trailers, especially those used in salt water.
