Post back up lights
Lets see what you guys have come up with for lighting on the back of your boat/motor/trailer. I'm mainly looking to mount something that will help add lighting when backing the boat into places with no lights. Thanks

Just wire a led light cube into your reverse on your trailer. Even a nice set of red led trailer lights is plenty in most cases, but i understand having a bit of white back there.
One less light on the back of your boat to be wired in, blind people on the water, etc. I've seen far too many have a nice fancy set of light bars on the back of their boat run down the river with them on because they're awesome.

Something like a pair of these in red hooked to your trailer lights, or white hooked to your reverse circuit (If your trailer is 4 pin, it'll take some extra wiring), would do nicely mounted on each side of your trailer on the crossbar under your boat. My dad put 3 smaller ones in red on a bar he screwed to the crossbar, and it lights up the night lol.

I run the little VisionX Solstice Solos on my trailers. They are tough, bright, and submersible. I have them on the back of my old pickup too, but the new trucks really don't need them.
