I have Wesbar standard submersible on my Calkins trailer. I don't unplug or remove anything before launching, I just dunk it. I've replaced three of the sealed lights and two side lights in 7 years.

I've thought about the LED but they are pricey.

I bought a set of LED and launched the boat 3 times and one light is gone!!

I heard here some place that Boaters World or West Marine had a recall for that very reason, But I am not sure which?? Besides I did not save the package and recipet

I have west marine led light and they suck. They are garbage. They are useless. Get the hint!

Seriously I had bad luck with them but others swear by them. If you buy them seal them seams if you can.
