That's cool. You don't have to worry about being seen at night!! Also would make changing a tire easy at night. Congrats, looks great.

what is holding the lights to the boat? Adhisive on the back of the lights, and what did you use to fill in the hole where the wire goes in? I'm thinking about doing this on my bass boat but can't decide if i want to install like yours or in the rub rail.

Thank you everyone, I wish the wind and rain would stop for at least one night this week so I can get back out there for some more crappie. We are taking them to Matagorda next weekend, trout fishing. All the kids in the ski boats are telling me how, "SICK" these are...hoping that means cool. what is holding the lights to the boat? Adhisive on the back of the lights, and what did you use to fill in the hole where the wire goes in? I'm thinking about doing this on my bass boat but can't decide if i want to install like yours or in the rub rail. Fishinsoap, I had them install the lights and it is a 3M adhesive on the back of the LED strips, there is silicone in the entry hole for the wire to feed through. It looks like a simple enough install to do by yourself. They also have silicone clips that may be able to attach it to the rubrail, not sure if I would put them directly on the side they might get knocked off on your trailer or a dock or tree, my rubrail is solid, putting them inside the rubrail would be a cool concept. NitroSlim, my rub rail is like the majority of the bass boats out there. How I found out I saw these on a center console with a splash rail and the lights were mounted facing down. The guy at the dock showed them to me and he could change the colors with a remote control his strips had the ability to switch to every color under the rainbow and a freaking dimmer and strobe, I went with this solid green color on the outside and amber on the inside of my ttop for low bug draw. I flirted with different lights but these were actually the brightest with the lowest amp draw out there, less than three amps. I run them all night for two nights off of one trolling motor battery, my old crappie light dragged the battery down in a few hours. I never have to worry about some drunk running over me at night every again.
