Anybody else hate dealing with boat trailer lights?

[Fry Flier]

Install new LED system for $50 or less from Amazon and be done with it.

That is what I did 6-7 years ago with one trailer now all 3 trailers are LED....

Yep, LED's are the way to go. Plus adding quality adhesive lined heat shrink tubing on all connections will give you many trouble free seasons.

Stuck hem on my trailer 15 years ago. Never disconnect them when launching.

Only problems I’ve had were at the connection to the vehicle. The 4 prong …cheap….imported junk doesn’t
last.

So I replace every couple  years.

Thats the issue I have.  Brand new trailer for the 23 and it just sits at the marina.  I thought id be towing more but over 8'6 wide so I need a permit every trip, what a pain.

How long does it take to get a permit and how much does it cost?

I think its 60 something and online and if I remember correctly you have to grab one for each trip.  NYS is really proactive in checking this.  CT not so much.
