Default Wheel bearings

I haven't had a lot of experience with these. I bought a used boat
recently. 14" tires, a 16' Lund boat. What do I look for on inspection?
Do the bearings slide off, or do I need a puller? When I tighten the nut
down to contact, then back off a little, I get a slight growl on spinning.
Haven't pulled it all apart for a visual.

TIA

Just replace them. Those things have been underwater many times and the purpose of a boat
is go to out and have fun, not fix a trailer on the side of a busy highway.
