Thinking about getting led bow lights for running at night. Was wanting to hear options of best way to mount them. Don't know if it would be better to mount it inside the rub rail, over or under the rub rail. I really don't wanna go widdling on the rubrail if I don't have to. Just looking for options really, also getting some lights for all the compartments and some for on the deck all from www.bluewaterled.com

I just put some on Monday. Looks good, plenty brite, not for bling, just to get the small pole out of the way. Just above the rail small hole in the rubber trim then silicone.

I put mine under and I like where they are, but I have managed to rip two sets off due to coming down on the top of stumps

In the rub rail is better. This provides some protection for those little bumps we sometimes get getting too close to those nasty boat docks.

Bluewater nav lights mounted in the rub rail. Very easy to install.
