Too much grease can cause churning of the grease, a build up of heat and blown seals. Unless they get wet as in fording streams or boat trailer yes a good greasing should be good for years if done properly. I do use synthetic grease.
From Timken
"The right amount of grease, How much grease to add to a bearing housing - 1/3 to as much as 1/2 of the housing volumen. Too much (more than 1/2) grease causes overheating; too little causes lack of lubrication. 1/3 is about right."
