Portable trailer lights

Well my boat trailer lights have gone out. i am trying to design an easy portable way to do the lights. Don't want to submerge them, and I don't want to construct raised lights if I can find another way.
Looking for any ideas.
Thanks

Mount them to a 2x4 with carpet on one side and strap it to your boat. I think Jumptrout has been doing this for a while after getting tired of the saltwater killing his lights.

Ive seen guys with magnetic ones
and i remember someone had them set to mount in the rod holders at the back of his boat.
Took them out when he got to the ramp.

I have seen numerous folks in the past mount the lights and licence plate on a 2X4 and strap it to the transom. Run the trailer wires the length of the boat to the tow hitch hookup and just wind the rig up and put it in the back of the truck 'till it is time to go to the hill.

A buddy of mine used the 2x4 on his old boat. I wonder if someone would steal it out of the back of the truck?
