did they put the bearings on your axle
this happened to me, I had some one install a new axle on my boat, picked it up brought it home, when I got it home the hub was hot, I told myself to adjust the bearing nut, but I did not ( I think they had it to tight ) went to Flaming gorge lost a bearing and a axle.
left my boat and trailer , came home and they gave me another axle and hub and they installed the bearings. installd the axle up there came home this time they had the bearing to loose, I puled the cap adjusted the bearing nut and have not had any problem. you need to make sure you don't get water in the hup they sale seals for boats and stuff for other trailers that never go in the water.
my dust cap does not have a rubber plug in it for the ez lube I think that is one more place you can get water in but if you check your bearings often you will be OK
