Expert Answers about Chevrolet Boat Lights


  • Trailer Lighting Needed for Loading a Boat onto a Trailer In the Dark
  • The Optronics Transit LED Backup Light, part # BUL90CB would be a brighter light than the Optronics Sealed, Oval LED Trailer Utility Light, part # BUL78CB. It would work great for a lighting up the area behind your boat trailer for loading a boat in the dark. The # BUL90CB is also a submersible light which means it has a sealed, waterproof housing and lens. This will be be a good feature since you are using this light on the back of a boat trailer that will be backing down a boat ramp....

  • LED Light Recommendation for Converting Lights of 2001 Ford Ranger Boat Trailer
  • You can certainly use the Optronics kit # TLL160RK for your boat trailer. These tail lights are great for marine trailers as they are sealed and have a waterproof construction. This kit includes 2 red LED tail lights. These lights will need to be hardwired to your trailer, and have a separate ground wire. For some LED clearance lights the part # MCL32AB would work as well.

  • Recommended Subermersible Strip Light To Light Up EZ Loader Boat Trailer Logo
  • 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.

  • Can Boat Trailer Lights Be Used on a Camper?

I've attached an article to assist with lighting requirements for trailers to assist.

  • Recommended License Plate Light With Bracket for Boat Trailer
  • For a license plate light and bracket on your boat trailer you want to use one that is submersible like the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light with Bracket - Submersible - 5 Diodes - Clear Lens # LPL56CB. I would not use the # M290B-P on your boat trailer. The Optronics light has a waterproof construction and specifically designed for applications like boat trailers. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get...

  • How to Increase Visibility of the Fulton Boat Guide # FGB1500100
  • The Fulton Boat Guide, part # FGB1500100, does not have a light on the top of the poles.

To add just the lights you can use LED Light Kit for Post-Style Boat Guide-Ons # CE27656A.

  • Where To Mount LED Pontoon and Fishing Boat Docking Lights On Pontoon Boat
  • 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.

  • Adding LED Lights CE27656A to Post-Style Guide-Ons
  • The option we have for an LED light kit for post-style guide-ons for a boat trailer the LED Light Kit for Post-Style Boat Guide-Ons # CE27656A. These will fit on 2-3/8" outer diameter post-style PVC boat guides, but there isn't a way to wire them for brake lights, turn signals and all the rest. They are generally just wired as running lights for added visibility, and there is not a wiring diagram or sequence of steps, though the # CE27656A do come with instructions. The instructions...

  • How to Help with Loading Boat on Trailer at Night
  • The best way to help with loading your boat off and on the trailer at night would be with a set of lighted boat guide-ons like the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers part # CE27760. These guide-ons will provide visual targets to center the boat during loading. They are 60" tall but can be trimmed and will fit pretty much any boat trailer with frame rails up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall. If your frame rail exceeds this measurement then you can use part # CE11416...

  • Mounting Trailer Tail Lights on Fulton Boat Guide Part #FGB1500100
  • 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.

  • Will Non-Submersible Clearance Lights Work on a Boat Trailer?
  • The Square LED Trailer Clearance Light, # MCL36RB, is non-submersible, so if it gets submerged in water, the possible damage includes short circuits, cracked lenses and burned out bulbs. This light is not sealed, and does not have a drain hole which lets water out if it does get in, like some submersible lights do.

  • Can Curt T-Connector 4-Way C55384 Power Tailgate Lightbar While 7-Way Powers Boat Trailer Lights
  • You would not have any issue using the 4-way adapter part # C55384 as a way to power your tailgate lightbar while your 7-way powers the boat trailer lights. This is a common solution for your setup that would work just fine. Your boat trailer having LED lights would mean they draw considerably less too so you wouldn't have an amperage draw issue either.

  • Replacement Light Kit Recommendation for a 1994 Ranger Boat Trailer
  • If your boat trailer is under 80" wide I recommend the Submersible, Under 80" Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wiring Harness # TL5RK but if it is over 80" wide I recommend the Optronics Trailer Light Kit for Trailers Over 80" Wide # TL16RK instead. I'm not sure what all came on your 1994 Ranger boat trailer but these light kits are a good starting point. If there are additional reflectors or lights you're needing to replace please shoot me some photos of everything you need replaced and I'd...

  • Replacement Submersible Tail Lights Needed for Shorelander Boat Trailer

I have included a link to our submersible tail lights for you. From this link you can use the filters to narrow down your search.

  • Troubleshooting Boat Trailer Taillights that Work with Chevy Trailblazer but not 2013 Ford Edge
  • It sounds like the problem is a weak ground on your boat trailer. I would check the grounds of the boat trailer and make sure they are attached to a clean metal surface of your boat trailer free of corrosion. Some vehicles are more sensitive to ground problems than others and that may be why one vehicle works while the other doesn't. I attached an FAQ on trailer wiring for you to check out.

  • Parts Needed To Transfer Lighting Signals While Triple Towing An RV And Boat Trailer
  • To triple tow you wouldn't be running both connectors to your Ram. You would connect the RV's 7-pole to your Ram and then connect the boat trailer to a connector on the RV. Since you just need lights for the boat trailer you'll just need a 4-pole connector # HM38138, some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10, and some additional wire for length. You'll splice in the 4-pole connector to the lights on the rear of your RV to transfer your lighting signals from the RV to the boat trailer....

  • Difference Between Underwater and Waterproof TecNiq Boat Lights
  • The difference between the submersible lights vs the waterproof boat lights is that the submersible ones are designed to be installed on the boat in a place that will be under the water, while the waterproof lights are more for accent lighting on the boat itself and not really meant to be installed where they will be sitting under the water. For the White Water Dragon Underwater LED Lights we have the following brightness options: - 5,500 Lumens # TN64RR - 2,700 Lumens # TN34RR - 1,500...

  • How Does the LED Light Kit for Post-Style Boat Guide-Ons Wire Up on a Boat Trailer
  • 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.
