Heard from some that you should disconnect the tailer lights before

they worried about a hot bulbs shattering when hitting the cold water ?

Depends on what kind of bulbs you have on the trailer. If you're using
standard automotive bulbs, they're likely to shatter when you launch if
they've been turned on long enough to get hot. You can get special
bulbs that are resistant to shattering in cold water at most marine
supply stores. About double the price of automotive bulbs. I always
disconnect even tho I use the marine type.

Happy boating, Norm
