How is your wiring harness hooked up for towing your boat? Is it a Ford towing package install or a do-it-yourself pull off the taillight kit?
If this happens when you are only launching the boat, the problem may be on your trailer grounding somewhere, not your truck.

Follow the vehicle's trailer connector pigtail wires about 2-3 feet and you will come to a set of connectors. Inspect these carefully for corrosion or shorts.
