I bought a boat/trailer last year. The first time I put the boat in the
water a fuse blew. My dealer said it was a lousy hitch installation and I
had to have him replace it. The hitch installer said everything was done
properly. I figured something shorted when it got wet, so the second time I
disconnected the electrical before putting it in the water. It was okay.

Yesterday it blew the fuse before getting to the water. Argh. (92 and the
A/C went out, as did the speedometer...)

I presume something is shorted on the trailer. Any suggestions for
troubleshooting it?

Something is miswired in your tow vehicle. The AC fuse shouldn't blow. The
trailer may also be miswired

I may be wrong in thinking this way .... You were backing it into the water
so the only thing that would be on is the brake lights so I would focus on
that wiring first.

Or you have a leak in a receptical and it caused a wire to short to
ground when the water hit it. It's happened many times. You may still
have water in behind the lense. If so, with it jossling around it can
still short out hwen you hit the brakes. before I installed a new wire
kit on my small trailer, I'd hit the bakes and it would take out the
fuse to the rear lights on the car, the radio and cigarette lighter
(both on the same fuse) and also the cruise control and horn (also
both on the same fuse.)

amazing things can happen to cause a ripple effect.

If you want a nice boat ride, Phil, I'm heading out tomorrow morning.
It's going to be hot as hades here, but we can make it cooler. I'm on
Chesapeake Bay, on the western shore. If you are nearby, send me an email.

Phil: Be very, very careful with this individual. It would be time
well spent to do a search of his past newsgroup posts. Acceptance of
an invitation from him could be dangerous.
