  • Recommended LED Tail Lights To Replace Peterson PM421 Incandescent Lights On Eagle Boat Trailer

  • Is The TecNiq Mini Rectangular LED Boat Accent Light # TN47FR Available With Smoked Lens?
  • While TecNiq does not offer the Mini Rectangular LED Boat Accent Light # TN47FR with a smoke lens they do have the Covers # TN44FR & # TN94FR in black.

Do ensure if you do this the lights still meet local laws for visibility...

  • Using 4 to 5-Pole Trailer Connector Adapter # 20036 for Towing Boat w/ 2011 Toyota Highlander
  • The extra pin on your boat trailer's connector is most likely a reverse lock-out for your surge or hydraulic trailer coupler. The extra circuit is tied into the reverse light circuit of your vehicle. When the vehicle transmission is shifted into reverse, the reverse light circuit energizes and activates a solenoid in your coupler, which allows you to back the trailer without the brakes applying. We do indeed have an adapter that would work for you, part # 20036. The extra blue wire on...

  • 4-Pole to 5-Pole Wiring Adapter for 2018 Ford F-150 Towing Boat Trailer with Surge Coupler
  • We have an adapter you can use to provide your boat trailer with the reverse light signal its surge coupler solenoid needs to allow you to reverse the trailer. You can use any of the adapters shown on the linked page but I recommend the Tekonsha option, part # 20036, since over the years we have found their wiring products to be the most reliable. The blue wire will splice into your reverse light circuit's wiring and then connect to the plug on the adapter. We do not offer any complete...

  • Is There an Adapter To Go From 5-Pin Flat on 2017 Toyota Highlander to 7-Pin Blade on Boat Trailer?
  • It sounds like you are trying to go from a 5-pin flat connector on your 2017 Toyota Highlander to a 7-way connector on your Ranger boat trailer. This type of connector is not made since the 7-way wan only designed to be used on trailer that require either a charge line or electric actuated trailer brakes. If your boat trailer does not require either of these the simplest thing would be to change the trailer to a 5-Way Flat # HM47910. Otherwise you could create an adapter using the same...

  • Availability Of Marker Light With Rounded Base For A 2006 EZ Loader Boat Trailer
  • While we do carry a ton of red marker lights, we do not carry anything with a rounded base like you described. It may be something specific for EZ loader trailers made around that year. We do have some similar flat base lights like the Optronics # AL91RB and # A91GB for a grommet. If you are looking for a direct replacement, it might be worthwhile contacting an EZ loader dealership with your VIN. I do not have access to their database here so I am not able to reference a VIN.

  • 5-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for Towing Boat Trailer With 2001 Toyota Highlander
  • There isn't a plug-and-play option available, but we do offer some options that will get your Highlander set up so you can tow your surge coupler-equipped boat trailer. As you mentioned, you need input from the reverse lamp circuit on the vehicle to release the reverse lock-out on your surge coupler. The simplest (but unfortunately the least reliable) way to handle this would be to use an adapter like part # C57187. The extra blue wire on the vehicle side would tap into the reverse lamp...

  • Adapter to Plug Boat Trailer w/ 5-Pole Connector into Factory 7-way Connector on 2000 Ford F150
  • If the hydraulic surge actuator on your boat trailer has an electric reverse lock out, you'll need a connection to the reverse light circuit on the truck. Look for a small solenoid located at the rear of the actuator with a wire tied into the trailer connector. Since your F150 has the factory tow package, the center pin of the 7-way should be tied in with the reverse light circuit. You can test this by using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on the 7-way. The center pin should power up when...

  • Recommendation for a 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat Adapter for a Boat Trailer
  • We do have an adapter to go from a 4-Way on a vehicle to a 5-Way on a trailer. You can use # 20036. The extra blue wire will get wired into the reverse light circuit on the vehicle. The 5th wire on a boat trailer 5-Way is usually for an electric reverse lockout. When the vehicle is placed in reverse it sends a signal back to a solenoid on the actuator and does not allow the brakes to engage.
