if by marine grade you mean the waterproog blue stuff then dont run it. it is the worst grease imaginable for water submersion situatinons. because the grease will not mix with the water at all what happens is the grease all comes out of the bearings and gets replaced by the water. I used to replace tons of completes hub and drum assemblies on boat trailers that ran that kind of grease. And bought a 49 PW that had been offroaded alot with that grease and all the bearings were completely toast. normal wheel bearing grease will at least mis with water somewhat and keep some grease in the bearings. i use the sta-lube HD drum brake grease
