Good to see. This has been on my mind a lot recently as I'm shopping around for a trailer. I'll have to figure out how to set up custom bunks for my little boat to fit on it. I'll hopefully avoid having to have a trailer made new.

I found a cheap trailer and boat combo, $100. The boat is scrap, and can be cut up easily. This was over the winter.

that is how I got one trailer too. They can be stupid expensive, alone.

I made a pig tail to plug into the trailer light plug and power off a battery to test lights with out the tow vehicle. I need to rebuild a trailer too.

That’s a great idea. I fought for several hours today jacking around with the lights. Couldn’t get a good ground using the metal of the trailer and finally ran a ground wire all the way back to the lights

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Yup, I ran a dedicated ground too. My trailer too rusty. Put a grounding lug on tongue and ran plug ground to the lug. Now I just need to keep bulbs alive.
