Should boat trailers have reverse lights fitted??

Can't see the point for the few metres you reverse with it..
You will find 99% of trailers don't, as its not compulsory. In fact you might even find it hard to find submersible trailer lights with reverse lights.

the saint, can i ask why you made that comment?as i have been on many a ramp with poeple walking all over the place dont you think that it would be a good thing. sid
its not even compulsory for semi trailers to have reverse lights. they reverse for 100s of metres sometimes.
IMO it comes down to pedestrians beware.
oh i forgot the speed your reversing should/is around a walking pace. so to run someone over they couldnt of been watching

That's why they have rearward facing lights on their mirrors.Originally Posted by HONKY DORY
Or are they for the people that leave their high beam on

What is great,is a reversing light,or lights,that show your trailer wheel position,so you can turn,in the correct spot.
Pretty difficult to turn correctly,in a dark situation,not knowing where the wheels are positioned.,Especially in tight spots.

If you are going to fit reversing lights to your trailers make them on the side mounted on the gaurds or chassis near them.
If you have them on the back of the trailer you will still be guessing where the wheels are on the trailer as you are cornering because the light has already passed where you need to see.

An easy way to combat this is to fit white reflectors onto the wheel guards which will have the reverse lights reflect off them .
