Also got three batteries installed with the ProMariner. I mounted in the engine compartment but up under the starboard bow side of the engine compartment. I will get a picture eventually of the plug hook up installed on the exterior.

Stereo upgraded as well. Replaced the Sony speakers with WetSpunds Revo 6 RX series with the RGB lights. Also added the Wersounds 6 channel amp HTX 6. Also as this install was going on added some stainless steel cup holders.

With the lighting my installer/friend and I are working on a fiber optic projectors and zone/scene/mood controllers. I am thinking Monday the installation process with begin. I am excited and will get some
Pictures and maybe video when it’s done.

Thanks. I think this whole lighting idea with the fiber optics will be awesome. The guy helping me (well doing most of the work) used to do whole house lighting, stary night fiber optic ceilings etc. He said now with LEDs we could make little projectors and run fiber.

So the plan is to have fiber rings around the cup holders, around the speakers, and under the yellow piping in the bow and around the back. I have some LED strip lights that will go under the lip of the back seats.

After taking the boat out this yesterday with the new sound system I was not able to use its full potential. When the wife and daughter were in the bow it was too loud for them and I could barely hear it at the helm. Then while coving out to hear it good on the water the people still sitting in the boat get blown away. So I have some tweaks to make....I am thinking I am going to need to be able to decrease front speaker power while on the fly then add tower speakers with the ability to turn down the inside while keeping the tower speakers loud. I have a the Tundra with the JBL audio system. It sucks compared to what my boat can do. However, I feel the need to rock/jam while on the water more than in my truck...but aint gonna lie I do like rocking out to some ACDC in the truck.

You prob can turn the gain down to the bow speaker channel. Yes tower speakers are your answer. You can power those with your wetsounds amp and then just power your bow speakers with the head unit. Or just buy another amp. Did you add a sub?
