I second that! I put a new tail light on the trailer when I bought it. I pulled the boat out of the marina where I bought it (salt water) and put it in the marina where I kept it (fresh water). Hooked up at the end of the season to pull out and that light doesn't work. The socket where the bulb plugs in is a mess!

Hey Shrek,

Was it a bad PO install? Dangerous

Is it taking up a lot of room you can use otherwise & how?

While I'm mainly just nosey & curious, I'm wondering if it could come in handy later in your new Mac life...

P.S. I like the other ideas - I'm up for new lights myself, seeing as right now I have no interior

It wasn't really a bad install as in-not unsafe. It appears to be well done. But I have kids and it takes up a lot of space we can use. The 'bad' part is the PO screwed all the access hatches down so there's no accessing the storage there now. I don't think we need the extra capacity (20 gallons) and it is time to replace all the fuel lines which would mean the fill and vent lines also. I'd rather have the space. Good thought on keeping it for later. I don't throw to much useful stuff away and could/would likely use the fuel cell on the tractor or maybe in What's her name's Vette.

There's no storage there, for me. In fact, It's often wet from my various leaks: torn rubrail, leaking mods

YMMV
