Title: Water in trailer lights
Post by: CAPTAIN MORGAN on July 13, 2010, 12:45:10 PM

I need some help here!!!
 
I am for ever having to replace my lights on my boat trailer despite buying the sealed round truck type. I see there is also the LED sealed ones available but at about R180.00 a piece, any suggestions on how to propperly seal these lights or a brand that does`nt take in water and blow? <: swr

Boet, having gone through this same exercise every couple of months, and spending hours in the freezing cold last night with Fishing Adventures doing it again...
 
The only real solution is to get a trailer board that you remove and never enters the water.
 
Probably not what you want to hear, but believe me, you'll be happy if you do!

I have seen sealed lights that don,t leak but the terminals corrode ,when I built my trailer I made sure the trailer board comes off. You can get a plastic trailer board and redo the whole thing ,the trailer board comes with holes for the light.
