I've never used this type of cap before (came with the boat). Any help is appreciated.

I bought a trailer ~ 6 years ago with the rubber cap. I have not had any problems with the rubber cap. I put in new bearing and seals ~ 2 years ago......and reused the rubber caps.
I used the buddy bearing for many years with no problems. With Buddy bearing all you have to do is just add a few shots of grease every few trips. The rubber cap.....not as easy to take off and reinstall....a little messy.
