We have something like the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized, part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. It is a marine grade 5 on 4-1/2 idler hub that comes with a grease cap. It comes with replacement bearings and seals. This is my recommendation for salt water use. The galvanization will protect the hubs from the salt water.

The CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased, part # CE13511, you attached to your question may also work.

I have included a product description link, a video review, and a video of the Easy Grease hub being installed below.
