Here is something else you can do. Install the grease seals backwards, so grease can exit the bearings and water can't get in. You can periodically purge the grease with a grease gun and wipe off the excess. Seals installed in the conventional direction will not allow grease to be pumped through the bearings and will allow water to enter when the warm hubs hit the cold water.
