I am on my third set of trailer lights. Each has died due to salt

Go with some of these. Yes they can be had on ebay and are reasonable...

30 years ago a guy told me, you put your trailer lights on a PT 1x4



and Bungee cord them to the trailer or the boat when you are driving.



Otherwise keep them somewhere dry.



Take them off for sure when you are dunking the trailer and also when



you are storing the trailer..



I made up a set during the Reagan administration. They are normally in



the corner of the garage and when I put them in the trailer, they work



every time.



Good call, Greg. I have a set of these I took with me in the tow "just in case"



Really cheap and handy-

That will work but the set I made up has hard service cord going up to

the connector that is a lot tougher than that zip cord they wire

trailer lights with.

Well, like I said, they're 'spares'

I'm a fresh water boater and really don't have a problem with corrosion or blown out receptacles. I unplug the lights before a launch, the spray the connections with penetrating oil when I get home. seems the gaskets all hold well.

But I have had them blow out before the trip home and don't have the time and/or inkling to do repair after darrk getting eaten my mosquito's.

That's when the spare magnet set comes in handy. In 10 years I've used them twice.
