Kodiak Oil Bath Trailer Bearing Conversion

My used trailer/boat came with the oil bath system - not converted. I love them and have had no problem in 4 years and 25,000 miles of towing.
 
Not familiar with the Kodiak oil bath system but we also had, on our EZLoader trailer, the standard oil bath system. We trailered Kismet for 5 1/2 years and that system was flawless.

Thanks for the replies. I was asking specifically about the Kodiak system. My trailer already had oil bath as well. I'm overhauling brakes which included replacing the hubs so decided to go with the Kodiak oil bath. It has a few differences vs the system that EZ Loader employs so I was wondering about any user experience.

Oil bath lube in general is superior to grease but I was skeptical in a boat trailer application. I was afraid of water ingress due to how deep we have to sink the trailer to launch a RT. But I have to say that after a couple dozen launches there's been no sign of water in the oil. So I'm sold.
