I have a solution for you, but the LED Utility Light Strips # DG65101VP are not designed to be used on a boat trailer since they're not a submersible light. Instead, I recommend using the Optronics Opti-Brite LED Interior Strip Light w/ Switch - Submersible # ILL70CSB which is 1/4" taller and 1" shorter than the # DG65101VP but can be fully submersed, so it is ideal for a boat trailer. view full answer...
The most common mounting location of the LED Pontoon and Fishing Boat Docking Lights part # TN23ZR on a pontoon boat is on top of the deck at the outside corners facing out. That said, we do have a better option more specific to pontoon boat trailers, the LED Docking Light for Pontoon Boats part # TN98XR or part # TN48XR which would mount to the side of the deck floor at the front or side facing out. view full answer...
You can certainly mount lights on the poles, however if the lights you choose pick up their ground connection through the mounting studs, you will need to run a jumper wire from one of the mounting studs on each lamp to the trailer frame to complete the ground circuit. view full answer...
The LED Light Kit for Post-Style Boat Guide-Ons, # CE27656A, will wire into the running light circuit of your boat trailer for power. They do have ground wires and will need to be grounded to a clean, corrosion free bare metal surface. Or if possible you can attach the grounds to the main trailer connector ground which is likely not going to be submerged on a boat trailer. view full answer...
You can use the Peterson Light Kit # V944 on your boat trailer from 1982 with its original wiring. Just make sure that the wires are in good shape and not stripped or otherwise damaged/exposed and these LEDs will work. view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK58VR for your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has the following max amp ratings:
Stop/turn lights: 5 amps per circuit
Tail lights: 7.5 amps per circuit
This is sufficient for standard trailer lighting whether it's LEDs or incandescent lights. The only time you'll need to worry about overdrawing is if you've added a LOT of extra lights to your boat trailer. If you'd like to still check on the amperage of your boat trailer you can test the draw of each of your... view full answer...
The lights on the guide posts on your boat trailer have only one input wire and one ground wire. You would be able to have them be powered by the running light circuit or the turn signal/brake light circuit but not all 3. Usually the guide post lights are wired into the running light circuit so they can be seen all the time at night. view full answer...
The Thinline Sealed LED Utility Light, # UCL65CB, is a sonically sealed waterproof lens and housing so it can be submerged. To mount this light you will also need bracket. You can use Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Series Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights, # A65PB. Or, you can use Chrome Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights, # A67CB. view full answer...
On the Optronics Pedestal Mount 3-Function Tail Light, part # ST51RB, the red wire would be for the tail light signal and the black wire is for brake and turn signal.
The light gets grounded through the mounting pedestal to the trailer frame so it will need to be mounted to a metal surface connected to the trailer frame. view full answer...
The existing wires on your boat trailer are for running lights and ground. The single wire replacement light should be connected to the brown wire and the white wire should be attached to the mounting screw since the unit must ground through the mounting hardware and frame. I recommend testing it for function before the complete installation.

I have attached a video demonstrating the brightness of the Optronics LED Backup Light, # BUL22CB, for you to check out. This light is waterproof and will work well on your boat trailer as a reverse light.
Along with this light, you will want the Two Wire Pigtail, # A49PB. The end of this plug is molded rubber that, along with dialectic grease, will help seal the plug from water and moisture.
To attach this light to your trailer, you will need the grommet, # A70gb. If you will not be... view full answer...
Since there is no standard for wire colors and functions you will have to determine the function of each wire on the boat trailer. There are two ways to do this, you can trace each wire back to see where they all terminate. Or you can apply 12 volt power to each wire and see what lights up.
On a Trailer side replacement 4-Way, such as # 18004, the one covered pin is the ground (white is most common). Next to that is running lights (usually brown). Then you have left turn and brake lights... view full answer...
It sounds like you have something like the Amber Lens # MCL0032ABB at the front and the Red Lens # MCL0032RBB at the back of your fenders.
Normally these lights are designed to switch on and off with your headlights since they are for clearance purposes. Some trailers may be a bit more fancy and have amber lights that act as both running lights and turn signals but for a boat trailer your amber lights would more likely than not be on the same circuit as your running lights so it sounds... view full answer...
I am not sure of the exact model tail light assembly that is installed on your Shorelandr Boat Trailer, but there should be mounting screws that need to be removed in order to separate the lens. If you do not see any screws, it may simply be a snap-on lens. In order to remove this type of lens, you should be able to use a small flat head screwdriver to gently pry it up. Just be careful not to slip and scratch or damage the lens.
If you are still having trouble, please let me know what... view full answer...
The CE Smith LED Light Kit for Post-Style Boat Guide-Ons, part # CE27656A are designed to fit the top of guide-ons like part # CE27740.
These are wired into the trailer running light circuit and are not used for brake light or turn signals. These lights are red and amber and mounted so that you are more visible to other drivers at night. view full answer...
On a boat you would want to ground docking lights # DL-16CC to the negative battery terminal. You will want the connections to be water tight as best as you can. Shrink tubing, electrical tape, and even liquid electrical tape # SWC50122 will help protect electrical connections from water. You can also use dielectric grease, # 11755, between electrical connections. This special grease is hydrophobic so it will repel moisture. view full answer...
In regards to trailer tail lights, a common mistake that people make is not unplugging them prior to launching the trailer. The reason that this is important has to do with not only the mixing of electricity and water but also the rapid cooling. If you are using your lights down the boat ramp you'll be heating up the bulbs and housing. When the trailer is dunked under water this rapidly cooling can cause the housing to suck in water. Granted, this is more of an issue with incandescent than... view full answer...
If you only need lights to work on your trailer then you can use # 37185 that you have referenced. You will plug in the 4-Way you have to this adapter. Then you will need to ground the white wire to the vehicle frame. The other wires can be taped up and stowed out of the way except the purple wire. That one will need to connect to the reverse light wire behind the tail light on the Jeep.
If you do end up wiring the remaining wires in later, the black wire is for 12 volt power and the blue... view full answer...
When replacing your 6-1/2 inch oval tail light like the Optronics Sealed # ST70RB that does not have any visible screws on your boat trailer, you can remove the assembly by simply pulling it out of the existing grommet. You can wiggle it back and forth to get it loose and you may need to use a screwdriver to put a bit of pressure on the edge.
Then when replacing the light, you will just snap the new light back into the grommet after connecting the 3-prong plug.
