The trailer that came with my boat is kinda rough. The actual trailer and the bunks look great. The lights and wiring are horrible. The lights worked intermittently on the drive from PA to KY.
Once home I noticed the 4 way plug looked rough and the wires had some spots where the wires were bare and mangled just after the plug. I bought a new plug and changed it. That did not fix them. The license plate bracket was totally rusted off and it looked like there was a wire ground there. It is hanging loose and all rusty. The lights on the middle brace at the back of the trailer are smashed. The light on the right fender has the wires hanging out. To put it lightly, its a freakin mess.
To fix it, I am thinking of just picking up one of those LED trailer light kits on ebay and just rewiring the whole thing. Has anyone done this? I am curious how hard it is to feed all new wires through the trailer or if I should just put new lights on and clean up the grounds and stuff. It would be nice to know it is all new. Also, all the kits have the tail lights and some have the fender lights. Where do I find that other little 3 light cluster on the rear cross brace?
Thanks as always!!!
