Lighting up the trailer
 
has anyone added led flood lights in color to accent the hull of the boat while towed or parked

No flood lights but LED strips

Ive got some nice water proof ones to go on mine, had em for about a year, will have them on with the new paint this year.

I put LED strips on the top rail of my old boat/trailer. Wired to running lights on trailer turned on and off by a float switch mounted to rear section of trailer. So they were only on when trailer was dunked. Worked great, but the sun/uv caused the clear silicone coating on the LED strips to turn yellow and become an eyesore. I was getting ready to rip it all out and do something different, but sold the boat.

I used double side tape and the the “L” tabs that were included to attach the pods to the trailer then used black caulk around the entire pod to make it watertight and help keep them in place.. here are a few pictures there are a lot more in the Baja forum under the the thread Phil’R Up 25 outlaw
I can take a closeup picture tonight as well

Please

Here are a few close up pictures. Not the sleekest install but it has proven to be watertight and keeps the pods attached. Being black from 5’ away they just blend into the trailer. If I had to do it again I would run a 30’ strip light down the center of each rail pointed in.
