As a boater myself, and even dealing with the 120 degree summers in AZ, I have the answer for you.

These allow extra grease in the hub and protect the grease from water contamination.

You also want to make sure to use a very good grease.

OILKLEEN is correct, the bearing buddy's would be great in your application. In addition to the bearing buddy's use a highly water resistant grease since they get submerged in water at the loading ramp.

Husky LVI 20 is a superbly water resistent grease. It is a polymerized synthetic lube (food grade). It is by far the most water resistant grease I have used other than silicone based lubricants.

We buy it from C&L supply in LA California. You might be able to find a Husky oil distributor near you.

Oops I screwed up, the part number is "LVI-50", not "LVI-20"
