Amirjo,

Please add your location to your profile...some electrical systems (lights) are completely water proof and some are not. It's good practice to disconnect the lights from the towing vehicle prior to launching/retrieving. I have forgotten to do this on occasion and have popped some hot glass bulbs.

Brakes are a different alltogether...if you are using surge brakes then the system will be partially sealed (water proof). The surge actuator, reservoir, lines, and brake cylinders are sealed. The brake drums/shoes or rotors/pads will not be sealed.

If you are planning on electrical brakes this system is again partially sealed but less so than a surge system.

Hope that helps.

Electric brake system connections can easily be sealed with shrink tubing and CA glue but plugs and break-away switches are more difficult. The problem with electric brakes is they are typically shoe and drum and do not have much brakeing ability when wet. Disc brakes have the same problem when wet but will dry off quickly when the source of water is removed and the brakes are used. The bottom line of course is cost with shoe/drum brakes being very common and in use for a long time. In addition this only becomes a problem when the boat is on the trailer.
