Hello,
In planning a kayak trailer I know about marine shrink tubing, but very little else with regard to creating an electrical system for lights on a trailer that will provide trouble free-long term usage.
I see the terminology "submersible lights". While this may be a fine solution, would it not make sense to simply mount the lights on the sides of the trailer, and above the potential water line?
I could use some experienced insights into these matters.
Thank You,

*Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Issues:
You rely on your trailer day in and day out whether you use it for landscaping, construction, farming, hunting, racing or your favorite hobbies.
Hauling things like heavy equipment, tools, sports bikes, hunting gear and anything you can put in the back relies on not only a durable trailer but also one that functions safely on the road.
But what happens when you start experiencing trailer light wiring problems?
What if your brake lights aren’t working, or your turn signals are dim?
Or maybe the lights work under some circumstances but aren’t 100 percent reliable.

The Importance of Trailer Light Wiring;
Imagine driving down the highway at night when your trailer’s lights don’t work.
Other drivers and pedestrians won’t know your vehicle has extended equipment on the back, which can lead to hazardous situations.
When others aren’t aware of your location — whether you’re turning or slowing down — your safety and the safety of others becomes compromised.
To be an aware and careful driver on the road, you need functioning trailer lights.
They’re crucial for the utmost safety. Because everything wears out over time, it’s best to check your trailer light wiring every time before driving.
Typical Trailer Wiring Problems and the Necessary Tools to Fix Them;
The lights on your trailer can be a bit dim or not work at all. There could be a burned out bulb, corrosion, broken wires or even a lousy light ground wire.
But all these issues are easy fixes, and you can make the appropriate repairs. While wiring grounds are often the most typical problem, other common light wiring glitches with trailers include the following:
One function of the trailer light system doesn’t work, like the brake lights or left turn signal.
None of the light functions work.
The lights worked at first but have stopped over time.
Switching on one turn signal causes both sides of the trailer to turn on.
Turning on the vehicle’s headlights causes the trailer lights to stop functioning.
One or more of the trailer lights remain on, even with the ignition turned off.
The harness functions until you connect the trailer.
The trailer’s reverse lights aren’t working.
