tail light for Shorland'r trailer

[chaffmj]

Where can I get a tail light for my shorelander trailer? I live in St. Paul and my boat is in Ely so either a place down here or one along the way up to Ely along 35, 33, 53 or 169 .

I just replaced my lights with a kit from Northern. They are now LEDs. Not sure if this is what you wanted but they were on sale a few weeks ago.

should be able to pick one up at any auto parts store or hardware store...just make sure it is a submersible(sp). I have a shorelandr and had rectangle lights and replaced them with square ones. good luck

[chaffmj]

Jim did you have a shorland'r trailer?

[chaffmj]

Right now I need only one so I was looking for the shoreland'r rectangluar type to match the other one. Maybe I should replace them both with the square ones like you did ozzie because they are available everywhere.

I picked up one for my Shoreland'r at Hannay's in St. Anthony. Any boat dealer that is also a Shoreland'r dealer should have them.

Jim did you have a shorland'r trailer?

Yes I do. The lights fit just fine and did not interfere with my straps. Very bright!!!

They were on sale for $50.00 for the two lights and all new wire.

[ozzie]

For me it was a no brainer as my tailights weren't that bright and it seemed that the light was oxidized or just not clear enough and since I was replacing one I thought they both might as well match and it is such and easy job....4 clips of wires, 4 bolts, 4 crimps on the connectors, electical tape them up and done...in fact it was so easy that after I broke one side of my new tailights on the first trip to the lake I went out bought another light and did it again....for me I had almost $40 invested in the lights but that was a kit (couldn't find single submersible lights at first) and a additional light.

If you want a matching trailer light, both Nelson Marine in White Bear and Frankies in Chisago carry them. My last boat was on a Shorlandr trailer and I know exactly what you are going through trying to find one.

Thanks everybody!

RJ's or Northern in Duluth. Harbor Freight may even have some.

I believe Cabela's carries Shorelandr lights. I got Shorelander trailer gudes from Cabela's.

Also Nelson Marine in White Bear is a Shorelandr dealer.

Thanks guys I will check these out.

For the guys that don't know, the tail lights on a Shorelandr trailer are not your run of the mill tail rectangle lights. Some have white trim and some have a curved edge.

Will generic LED rectangular lights fit?

[Jim Almquist]

Del the kit they sell at Northern will fit just fine. The bolt hole pattern are standard. The LED kits are very bright but you have to buy the side and rear markers separate. Nice to have all of my lights working and no more incandescent bulbs. If the kit is not on sale for $49.99 just wait it will be sooner or later.

[delcecchi]

I looked at the kit at ff, and was wondering that. Maybe I will wait for one of those discount cards in the mail from northern, instead.

I have a Shorelander trailer and bought the LED rectangle tail lights and marker lights from Northern for about $100. including the 3 light bar on the axle. Used one of their coupons in a flyer they sent me. Saved $20. Lights all fit good and was just a matter of mounting lights and making the connections. Had it done in a couple hours. A great upgrade.

[Jim Almquist]

The Northern in Duluth did not have a complete kit so I had to buy the 3 light bar and the side markers separate. Still well worth the upgrade.

[slammer]

I bought my lights all separate also. The tail lights were on sale for 39.99 and all the others were 9.99. Six marker lights and the axle light bar was basiclly free with the coupon.

[Jim Almquist]

Glad to hear. I thought I might have missed the kit or our store did not stock it.
