    Is my trailer too short?

    As long as your tongue weight is within spec. I wouldn't worry about it. My boat bunks (4" x 6") and boat overhang the back of the trailer by ~20".

    Problem Replacing old incandescent NAV lights with LED lights

    12 DC LED have built in resistors. When you connect LED lights in series, the 12v is going to be divided equally among the LED lights. Thus, if you have 2 LED lights, 6v for each one. If you have 3 LED lights, 4v for each one Would have to wire in parallel
