Advised not to repack bearings???
Two years ago, and with our previous trailer, we had a miserable and expensive bearing failure while 4k miles from home. At the time, we had buddy bearings and were under the impression that they did...

I'm not sure what the point of either exercise is. Since I don't intend to use my grease to prevent sea water from attacking the sealed bearings in my trailer, I don't really care that it will protect a bolt for 18 years underwater. I could use a good silicone sealant to protect a bolt from sea water, but that doesn't mean I'd want to use in my wheel bearings.
I mean there is cheap grease, but I sure wouldn't pay extra for grease that advertised it would keep a bolt from rusting after 6 months in seawater. That tells me diddly about it's lubricating properties.
