Expert Reply:

For boat trailers we recommend using submersible type lights which have a drain hole to allow water to exit the fixture. We also recommend always disconnecting the trailer connector before backing the boat into the water, even if you have submersible lights.

On the linked page you can view all submersible LED type grommet-mount lights that we offer. Usually a combination stop/turn/tail light like # STL111RB is employed.

I also included a link to a helpful article on the lighting requirements for trailers, which vary depending on the trailer's dimensions and weight. This will allow you to ensure your trailer is compliant with Federal law.
