Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 2017 Montauk 170 (Trailer) : Replacement tail light

Where can I purchase a replacement tail light for my trailer? (Karavan Trailer that came with the boat). I called the local karavan dealer but they do not sell parts only new trailers.

My challenge is the special connector on the trailer wiring. I bought replacements but wiring is different (just the three wires), and I prefer not to cut off the current connector, and do my own 'waterproof' connection.

The link below is to the light you need. It does come with the wiring harness but there is a 3 prong plug on the back.

There is no way to tell by just looking at the pictures which light is the right one. If I saw the pigtails in the picture, I automatically assumed it wasn't the right one.

Inspect the original light. It will usually have several numbers on it. See if any of those numbers compare with the replacement light offered.

I had to replace a rear light on our Karavan. It was readily available in sets of two. The left and right lights are different. I got the light set at my local Boston Whaler dealer (MarineMax).
