  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.
  15. Nice information, will try these spots this long weekend "
  16. I would love to partner with you for some fishing, e.g. Perch ... Why fishing smallie from Barrie? There is few smallie ... and the promising lake should be upper north,
  17. I live in Scarborough, 200meter off kennedy exit. Skeeter, thank you for your pointing it out
  18. Hi, I am looking for a pike fishing buddy. Many of my fish buddues are only interested on bass and few as crazy on pike and perch as me. Since my wife doesnot allow me go fishing alone ... I need one fishing buddy go simcoe fishing with me (usually any day as long as it is cloudy or raining ... windy day ok as long as 1700ProSportLund+115HP can handle) ... Prefer some one with a hitch so that there is no cost split on each trip. Please PM me if any one is interested... thanks, James
  19. I tried backing on my drive way. I need to find a slope to feel the ramp
  20. I just got a boat from my friend ... and I want to try pike fishing at cooks' bay but I think I need a very good boat launch (or I am very sure I will block the whole traffic and cook's bay's fish will not see many lures as usual..) Any recommendation Thanks,
  21. You are right. It is time to shopping around, e.g. Lund... thanks,
  22. Thanks for replies, they help me to understand the reason. But the fact upsets me that I can afford to fishing bass or walleye with different rod while apparently it is out of rage if I have to do them with different boat ... My original purpose to have a deep V is for Simcoe fishing 20% and bass fishing 80% ...
  23. Any one knows why all Deep V boat has a low casting deck? I only know my dream boat Tracker Touranament V18, which is a deep V with high casting deck but unfortunately it is discontinued. So my question is, OFNers, serious anglers: 1. Do you feel it is bugging you a lot while fishing (especially bass) on a casting deck not high enough? 2. Is there a reason that few boat maker provides deep V with a high deck? 3. Any replacement choice for Touranament V18? Thanks
  24. :worthy: Actually I was wondering if you can make it more difficult to come to a conclusion...
