For a boat trailer like yours, I recommend going with a Bearing Buddy that will keep the water out.

With a gross vehicle weight rating of 8026 pounds, you probably have 4.4K axles. The appropriate Bearing Buddy will be part # BB2441SS. This will fit inner hub bores with inner diameters of 2.441", so be sure to measure yours to ensure it's correct.

If, by chance, your hub bore is threaded, then use the Bearing Buddy with threading, part # BB2441T-SS.

I've linked to video reviews of both of these Buddies.
