Lot of difference between dunking the connector, especially in salt water,
and rain spray. I do not notice a lot of moisture in the plug when I pull
it after a rainy day tow.

Do not back up so deep.

The female connector on the truck is going to
get wet no matter what - like in big rain storm.

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)




My trailer has a label (from the manufacturer) with a list of
trailering
steps to remember. The last comment on the label is a note that they
recommend disconnecting the trailer lights before attempting a launch.
That means I need to protect the male and female connections on the
trailer and the truck, respectively, from water. I know that I am
going
to back my truck deep enough to wet the female receptors on the truck.
So, who's got the answer?
