Expert Reply:
Yes, even if you do not plan on much marine activity, you can still benefit from adding Bearing Buddies, # BB1980A-SS. They will help to prevent wheel bearing failure by keeping out dirt and moisture, something that all trailers will come across.
Adding grease to the bearings will be much easier as you will have a fitting on the caps that will allow you to add grease with a grease gun like # L30191. And the blue ring will allow you to know when to add grease. All of this will help extend the life of the bearings.
