Marine grease is great - but it is not for wheel bearings on disc brake equipped vehicles - that's why the manufacturers don't put marine grade grease in there in the first place.
HTB grease (that's "high temperature bearing") grease is for your wheelbearings.
You can run whatever you like in your free wheeling hubs,- and that might be a good place for marine grease.
Remember though you really should run LMM in your CV's though as it is designed for the very high pressure the contact points on CV's experience.
There are lots of grades of grease for different jobs. Choose the right grade.
Rust in your wheelbearings/hubs means you haven't serviced them enough. Marine grease won't stop the water getting in there or get it out.

HTB grease is specifically designed for the temperatures vehicle disk brakes achieve - I've had the brakes on my Gwagen glowing red. Trailer brakes don't ever reach those temperatures. You could put anything in trailer hubs - you're not going to cook it.
