The best advice I ever got for boat (or water submersion) trailers came from TJ Trailers. Whenever that trailer's season ends (soft deck fishing, duck hunting, etc.), repack the bearings immediately before storing the trailer for the off season. DO NOT wait to do this until just before the next season as the water in the bearing WILL destroy the spindle/bearings over time.
I have wet hubs on my fishing boat trailer, and they definitely are the way to go. However, they may not be available for smaller hub sizes such as those found on smaller fishing or duck hunting boats. That was the case when I replaced the axle on my duck hunting boat 6 years ago. This may have changed since then.
