[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 377310, member: 432"] I would say that it is OK to have Timken red bearing grease in your axles. At least you have grease in them. Ideally you should repack them at least yearly so if you want to put marine grease in the next time that would be OK. Boat trailer axles/hubs go through some harsh conditions in being driven for miles and warmed up just to be driven into a lake or river to be cooled very quickly. As it is cooled so fast it can pull water through the seal into hub. [/QUOTE]
