Thanks Thomas My trailer is made to be unloaded at the waters edge
also but when tilting the trailer the lights submerge especially when
big waves come in during unloading /loading . I will gets the specs
tomorrow and email them to you . I would be interested in purchasing
the good ones you have . I cracked mine while replacing the bulb and
cleaning the contacts for the bulb .

Thanks again Gary

Isn't that part made by Grote? They are 4 inch round rubber case with
plastic lens inside. That is what is on my 69 Rogue trailer. They long
ago perished and I put a replacement fixture in from a truck salvage.
They are not designed to be submersible and the trailer (mine at least)
is made to unload at the waters edge. I submerged it all before reading
the manual.
Those old trailers are nice but too hard to fuss with so do yourself a
favor and go to a good boat trailer dealer and get them to fit a nice
new aluminum trailer. You need to minimize the things that can come
between you and a nice day on the water. My old trailer sits on an
unrestored Rogue. I do not use it. I probably have some of the old lens
etc. and if you need one I will
send what I can find. I'll need specs. on what you need. TK
