Don't mess with the hubs, should be 100K maintenance free on your trailer

As noted, don’t mess with the hubs unless you are seeing an evident problem. I have a 2018 myself, with over 14,000 miles on it already, and I always seem to have my boat at the dealership 3-4 times a year for various upgrades, etc. Yet I haven’t had them touch the hubs on my 2018 yet. Never hurts to inspect tires for uneven wear, however, and look underneath for any signs of bare wires, unexpected rust, leaking brakes, etc. All of that takes about 5 minutes with a creeper and a flashlight. Or if you are having service on your engine, have your dealer do a quick check over for you.

I highly recommend that you re-torque the c clamp bolt that hold hub to axle once a year. 150 ft/lbs. Also check the bolts that hold the fenders to the trailer frame. Check bunk/trailer bolts frequently. Inspect the brake lines for wear/contact on the trailer frame and reposition as necessary. Inspect frame welds yearly. Check hubs for leakage on each stop, usually the inner seal. Tires and inside tire wear on each trip too.
