Ever since then they are constantly pumping grease on inside of rims, and I am adding grease constantly.
Sounds like either the inside seal is bad, was installed incorrectly, or it was overfilled with grease. Overfilling with grease sounds kind of like the problem. You really shouldn't need to put grease into the bearings very often at all. Certainly not after a couple of trips.
You ought to be able to tow your boat to Canada and back without putting grease into the bearings if everything is correct.
I would recommend pulling the hubs and putting in new inside seals, inspect & re-pack your bearings, and then reassemble. You should be fine. Too much grease can cause all kinds of trouble besides making a mess. If grease is getting out, then seawater can get in.

I agree except the plunger in the BB is constantly being sucked all of the way in. And according to their videos, this is when you add grease
