Trailer Lights

[bloocrab]

I know there's no such thing as a stupid question,,,,but you say unplug the lights before dunking the boat.

Water still gets into the housing doesn't it?
After backing in and pulling the boat out, all connections are still wet.....is there really that big of a difference by unplugging them and then plugging them in while still sopping wet?

Just curious?

There is a stupid answer.....use a 12 volt hair dryer after U launch.....just do not stand in the water....LOL....

I have been unplugging my trailer lights before backing down the ramp and no problems for three seasons now....i think it is to prevent water from coming in to contact with a hot bulb ....brake lights would be on at the bottom of the ramp. By the time you pull out at ye end of your day the water has drained from the housing.

Thats my theory anyway ...not sure i am correct though.

OK, I'll add that to the process....hopefully it helps.
