I repack the bearings on my trailer ever other year. I did so this year, but in hindsight i realized i did not get marine grease. Just regualr bearing grease. My bearing protectors are clear plastic and i can see the grease is now a white-ish color. It is originally green. Is this a bad thing?? I only have to tow once more (about 75 miles round trip) this year. Would that be ok or should repack with marine grease now???

Re: bearing grease

Seeing how it looks white, I would suspect moisture in the bearings. That is not good! Repack them now and save a big headache on the road! What's an hour now, compared to how many knows, one the roadside! And yes, use Marine grease.
