    Default trailer lights

    Do you guys unplug your trailer lights before you back into the water?

    normaly yes , but lately no only because i have full LED lighiting which will not burn out. if you have regular bulbs ALWAYS unplug the lights so the hot bulb to cold water dosent burn or in some cases blow up the bulb.

    Never unplugged on any trailer, never burned a light. Besides if you unplug on a boatmate disc brake trailer with the A60 actuator your brakes lock unkess you use the manual lockout.

    I always unplug my lights when I back down the ramp into the water. it is such an easy simple thing to do just to make sure there are no problems i can not think of a reason not to do it.

    If you unplug on a down hill boat ramp there should not be any pressure on the tongue to apply the trailer brakes...unless you have to back up a ramp to get to water...which doesnt make a lot of sense

    I also never unplug, didn't know it was something to even think about. My trailer is all LED also. I have yet to have to replace anything.

    Like I said, I can't think of one to do it.
