What is Best Grease for Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

I was looking for the best grease for my boat trailer bearings. Is The lubrimax LMX LL11390 as good as the Lubrimax Marine trailer grease L11402. I have a light boat 1500 lbs and it is used in freshwater. I do launch it over 50 times a year....so just wondering if the red grease will work as well as the marine....and really what is the biggest difference. thanks

The LMX Red Grease like part # L11390 is the best overall grease for boat trailer applications like you mentioned. It's just as waterproof as any marine grease but is also more heavy duty so it's the way to go for sure.
