someone in SCRED's past was motivated to make connecters between the trailer tail lights and the wires running on the frame. the lights are those 'cheap' kind you can find in a kits for $29.99. they are _are not_ waterproof. it is nothing to disconnect the wires using the connecters and using a wrench to take the lights off the frame (this is one of the 'old' steel trailerlights). the time is 1min or so to remove or re-attach. i also like this as when i store the boat i remove the lights. this is one less reason for a thief to take the boat ... no lights on the trailer a likely (i hope) cause a COP to notice. pictures available upon request. dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-site: www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred jim sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote: What are you skippers using for trailer lights. I now have a light bar that I take off at launch time. The problem is that it has been known to come off the trailer when hauling the boat and drag down the hwy pulled by the wires :(. Any one using LED's ? Are they waterproof? Where do you skippers get them. Capt'n James A.
