Would it be an option to have a dealer ship you a few tubes of it so you have plenty on hand?

It's a standard automotive U/J or wheel bearing grease, like Castoll LM etc. It doesn't need to be waterproof ( if water gets in to the bellows and into the U/J / gimball bearing then it wouldn't last long)

I've been using Pennzoil Marine trailer wheel bearing grease.

I use waterproof wheel Bearing grease, you can get from any parts house, checker, Autozone, ect...
I also agree that any bearing grease would work as it should never see water.
