[QUOTE="jethro, post: 397901, member: 12381"] I run boat trailers and snowmobile trailers. Put probably 200 miles a month on my boat trailer in the summer on average but in the winter that goes to easily 1000 miles a month more or less on the sled trailer. So I have a lot of miles on my trailers and I repack all my bearings myself. I am of the opinion that the more grease there is in the hub, the less space is available for water to get in there. So my answer is, there really is no such thing as too much grease in the hub. I have bearing buddy style hubs on everything and a power grease gun and fill the hubs until the grease is pouring out the back. No idea if I am right but it has worked for me so far! [/QUOTE]
