Gary, it;s not the launching in salt water that is the issue. I launch exactly 5 maybe 6 times a year.

The new set of wires will be run in wire loom. I had coated every connection with liquid tape and used heat shrink but it's the unjacked wires that are breaking down. I could purchase another trailer kit and run that thru wire loom but I would still need to run a dedicated ground wire. Seems simpler to just get triplex wire in a jacket, run that thru wire loom and zip tie the wire loom to the trailer. Still working on the connectors, I have an extension connector, I might just bolt the trailer connector to the trailer and use the extension. That way the traier connector won't be moving. The coiled extension I have has a good cover on it to protect it.
