Too Stupid to Look it Up

Frankly, I am far more obsessive about my trailer brakes. I carry a two
gallon garden sprayer with me, and rinse off the trailer's disc brakes
after I launch the boat and park the vehicle and trailer. Bulbs are cheap;
brakes are not.


But that's because you are awesome.

The newbie with the lights question just isn't in your league.

You should call Harry and commiserate with him over his pustule problem.
He's having to squeeze them daily. Must be atrocious with all that foul
smelling stuff coming out.

Give him a call. Not just an email.

Did you read about the idiot who hadn't the brain power to google up
manufacturers/suppliers of LED trailer lights, and then discovered his
trailer already had LED trailer lights? D'oh.

The fellow who posted the question is no boating newbie, and I was
laughing at his inability to figure out how to find the answer...by
using google or some other search engine.

I think trailer brakes are a far more significant worry for salt water
boaters than lights. If you don't rinse the brakes, they rust right up.
Even with stainless brakes, there are pieces and parts on them that are
not stainless.- Hide quoted text -

Harry, how would one google the answer to the question "where did you
get your LEDS?"

Right, you'd never notice whether you had regular incandescent or LED
lights on the back of your trailer because...well...because they look
the same when lit, right?

:)

Of course, if you don't check your trailer lights when you hitch up
before you drive off...well...

I bet I am the only one here who drives everyone crazy with a walk
around.. No matter how recently I strapped down the gear, or even if I
just stopped for gas, rain, snow, shine.. etc, if I were
superstitious, I would say this was like a good luck charm. I sit in
the drivers seat (both feet don't need to be in the vehicle;) and
start the engine. Then I exit the vehicle and do a complete 360 walk
around checking the hitch, tires, straps, load, even around the front
of the truck looking for fluid, etc... I do this every time I start
the truck with a trailer on. If the Mouse is in the front seat, she
does the same in the opposite direction.. every time, no excuses..
period.. Even if I just finished locking down the load 15 seconde
earlier...

No, you're not the only one who does a complete walk-around. I check the
trailer tires for air pressure and any visible damage, and then I pull
the rubber caps on the posi-lubes for grease before I hitch up, then as
soon as I have the trailer hitched, I check the lights. If I am alone, I
cannot check the brake lights, but I do check both directionals. If I am
towing any distance, I stop and check the rig every hour.

Gosh...I wonder if my trailer light bulbs are incandescent or LED... :)

From the looks of those pudgy fingers and the complaining about your
pustules, you should walk around that trailer about fify-two times a day.

I always do a walkaround before I leave on a trip and again each time I
stop..checking the coupler, safety chains, a visual inspection of the
tires etc.



Well, you wouldn't want to be driving behind Herring. He apparently is
oblivious to such details.


When people get too old to operate a vehicle safely I think they should be
shipped to Florida.
With 'locals' like WayneB trailering around at 9mph, it wouldn't matter
much.

Frankly, I am far more obsessive about my trailer brakes. I
carry a
two
gallon garden sprayer with me, and rinse off the trailer's disc
brakes
after I launch the boat and park the vehicle and trailer. Bulbs
are
cheap;
brakes are not.
But that's because you are awesome.
The newbie with the lights question just isn't in your league.

Don't present yourself as the angel of rec.boats in the future.
Eh?
You should call Harry and commiserate with him over his pustule
problem.
He's having to squeeze them daily. Must be atrocious with all that
foul
smelling stuff coming out.
Give him a call. Not just an email.
Grow up John.
Did you read about the idiot who hadn't the brain power to google up
manufacturers/suppliers of LED trailer lights, and then discovered
his
trailer already had LED trailer lights? D'oh.
Unbelievable!
Is this the first boat this character has ever owned? He shouldn't be
allowed off the dock without supervision.- Hide quoted text -

Really? What kind of brake pads are on your wifes car?
Why... you in the brake repair business now?
Right, you'd never notice whether you had regular incandescent or LED
lights on the back of your trailer because...well...because they look
the same when lit, right?

:)

Of course, if you don't check your trailer lights when you hitch up
before you drive off...well...- Hide quoted text -

I bet I am the only one here who drives everyone crazy with a walk
around.. No matter how recently I strapped down the gear, or even if I
just stopped for gas, rain, snow, shine.. etc, if I were
superstitious, I would say this was like a good luck charm. I sit in
the drivers seat (both feet don't need to be in the vehicle;) and
start the engine. Then I exit the vehicle and do a complete 360 walk
around checking the hitch, tires, straps, load, even around the front
of the truck looking for fluid, etc... I do this every time I start
the truck with a trailer on. If the Mouse is in the front seat, she
does the same in the opposite direction.. every time, no excuses..
period.. Even if I just finished locking down the load 15 seconde
earlier...

Don, if Harry's comment was meant to be helpful, why didn't he make it in
Chuck's Island?

He's not a little chicken****, is he?
