Heard from some that you should disconnect
the tailer lights before putting your trailer in the
water. I can't see why you'd do that. Are they
worried about a hot bulbs shattering when hitting
the cold water ? Is this a myth, or is this
something I should continue to do (pain in ass)

I used to disconnect the trailer lights all the time, but when I got
sealed units, I stopped. Since then, I just dunk the trailer and not
worry about it. So far, I haven't had a bulb blow or any other kind
of failure like that on the little trailer I have.

I don't believe it's really necessary to disconnect.

TTFN,

Depends on the type of lights. The bell jar type, suck more water as the
lights heat up hte air inside, and then the cold water cools the air,
allowing more water in. Blew to many lights over the years. My big boat
trailer is now LED (about $35 from Bass Pro shops). No more problems.
