  1. Fixed by: wire a ground line to the left light and replace the left light ... Thanks for all suggestion
  2. It was the original LED from the package purchased at 2011. I purchased a new LED to replace the left one. hopefully it ends all the puzzel. The boss of the trailer depot states similar clusion: If a light is not on with a 12V directly connected onto it, this light is broken. But if this LED is broken, why it is ON when I turn on Parking light? He got no answer...
  3. But I really do not understand shorelandr' trailer light: why the LED light is not on while I applied 12V directly onto it? The old time bulb is really good ... it doesnot use any fancy IC inside ...
  4. Greg, I think I should cut off left light and re-test. But a friend said it may be modulite (wire harness adapter) issue ... This trailer worked fine for 1.5 years and I did not re-wire... so I assume there is something aged broken due to winter or water ... Will keep you post. It is not easy to tow around for repairing when there is a boat on it all the time :*(
  5. LED Trailer light issue My trailer LED light doesnot work on Left Turn and Both Break. At Parking light, all LED lights (including running) are on. So I go to UHaul without trailer to test my car wiring: everything works good on UHaul Trailer. Tested on the Resistance: White+Brown: 200 White+Yellow and White+Green: no Resistance, looks like broken? Tested the Voltages: At car wiring, when emergency light flashing, both left and right side output is from 2.5V to 9.5V. At the same time, tested on the left light (cut the wire to expose the voltage.): The voltage is transferred correctly to the trailer light. Link the wiring plug directly to 12V car power, if white+brown is connected, running light is ON. (Good) if white+yellow or white+green: no light at all. Question: How LED trailer light works? Why I see both at parking switch on and see right turn light, but I see no brake light and no left turn light? Why even I give the right turn light 12V directly it doesnot show on? Any thoughts? Thanks? Should I change both LED back to normal bulb so that there is no fancy IC in the lights?
  6. Even pike refused to show up this year. Maybe we should have stocked the boat at August when bass stopped biting.
  7. What timing do you have most confidence on bass fishing? I voted for LM bass fishing at dawn around 6am-9am.
  8. The following is the quote for the package (including installation and everything ... say ... pay & go package...) Dealer's quote for surge disk brake is ($1375 + 5*$75) + tx Reinhart price for surge brake is $750 + tx but not yet to confirm till seeing the trailer Reinhart price for eletric brake is $725 + tx but not yet to confirm till seeing the trailer Hitchcity price for surge drum brake is $850~950 + tx but not yet to confirm till seeing the trailer My friend did it 2 yrs ago from toronto local gargage for surge : $14xx (including tx) Man, life is tough Smally gave me two trailer part suppliers which is a very good to start with: cerka industries excalibur trailers
  9. :wallbash: I hate internet. It provides good information but it often overwhelms! Disk Brake or Drum is another decision to make. Disk is said no good for boat trailer which is light(<3000#) and idled often so that Rotor rustness dooms. But now you guys told me even electric has to be an option Maybe I cannot decide till I take a university master degree on all knowledge about a small boat trail braking theory?
  10. During research, I also found many resource believe electric brake is not a valid option for boat trailer which is supposed to submerge at ramp.
  11. Low # PP during panfish fishing will twist like crazy ...
  12. ... A Ford Escape 3.0L 4WD, towing a Shorelandr with 17' boat with 115 engine, total is 2450lb including trailer. So it is less than 3000lb. But my concern is that it is always nice to have a brake. GTA area ...
  13. To be safe on the road, I plan to install the brake onto the shorelandr trailer (SLB30BAL Basic model). Anyone knows: 1. Where can I get the brake installed? 2. Any experenice to share with me? 3. What should I be aware of and be careful of? Thanks in advance on any opinions and information.
  14. Of course it is large mouth. The mouth is much larger than a smallie.
