    As with any trailer grease is it's friend :D I only use marine grease and do the bearings before any long trip by cupping them in my hand and forcing the grease into them, I find if you use a gun you can pop the seals on them also feel the rollers and rims for any pits or roughness that would cause a failure. On the road keep to the trailer speed limit or lower and carry any heavy gear in the car and not in the boat when you get to the water let the bearings cool down before you launch.
    If you are stilling having problems something is wrong with the trailer or the weight that it's carrying is not what it was designed for.
