The Bearing Buddies in theory provide another benefit: they have a
spring-loaded piston that keeps the grease under slight positive pressure.
That way if you get the hub wet (like when launching a boat), it doesn't
suck in water.

They also make it a lot easier to add a shot of grease frequently, making it
more likely you'll do it.
