Haha, it's about what did you do for me today. ;)
If it is the same person, he "may" get a pass. I'm not so sure though :D

This is impossible. I can't catch up. I used to scour the site for days and comment on everything. Now I can't even post without you guys swamping me with new threads and comments! This has really blown up in the last few months.

New bow filler cushion. I think it matches perfectly.
Thanks BB.

Pulled the trigger and bought an underwater LED from boatpluglight.com. Went with the Vega in blue. 8000 lumens should do the trick.

Should arrive by Friday. Wanted a bit of bling for our vacation next week!

Good luck with the maiden voyage! No doubt it will be fantastic.

The entire crew on CobaltChat is expecting a formal debrief -- including photos of the underwater LED. Which model did you go with?

ThxCollin.

Apparently these drain plug lights are the bomb.

However, I'm sidetracked working an engine alarm issue so light test voyage will have to be put on hold for now

Mine doesn't light up the wake the way some do - I wonder if it's that it's directly behind the drive or not pointed to the sides with a splitter or that it's not bright enough... Water is very clear and it was very cool swimming in the middle of the lake with everything lit up.

Which model did you go with Liquid? How many lumens?

And of course, pictures or it didn't happen...

this the model I went with in blue:

I'll get a pic in September when I'm back down the lake. Says 1000 lumens but as I've read the power varies a ton and are often misrepresented with these lights. I do know it blinded the f out of me when I looked directly at it so there's that.
