Isn't that what trailer tires always look like?

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Well I got my courtesy lights. Wired up and converted to led this weekend.
I have to look into my drain plug led it's only working on green. Lost the red and blue. Worry about that this spring. I didn't feel like emptying out the engine compartment on that side today and fold up like a fetus to check it out. This is the controller I'm using. It's under $20 on eBay. Works with a app on my phone. It's pretty cool.

Looks good... Does this finally finish up your fascination with upgrading all the lights?

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
I'm not sure. I might put led lights inside the blower vents.lol I still have part of my string left. Lol looks good in the garage. Even though I seldom boat at night.lol. My engine compartment lights shine through there now. They also show through the fender storage area.NautiGirl wrote: Sun Nov 26, 2017 4:14 pm Looks good...

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
BB, you never know.
We didn't order the under water lights because we never, never boat at night.
Suddenly with the new boat, we are always out at night.
The vent lights are freakin hot. Cobalt should be doing that at the factory..

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Yea not sure why we don't boat at night. I guess we are all just done worn out by or just after dinner time. Maybe with this year? I'll prob play with the vent lights some. All of the wiring is there and easy to get too since I ran it for the drain plug light. I think I'll put the engine area lights on a separate switch.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
That looks great BB. I wanted to put vent lights in my blue boat. So my 262 has rear vents that would look pretty cool
with lights... Hmm.
We used to go out every now and then, but when I built the 240 we found ourselves out at night all the time! Now it's kind of a regular thing

The hard size is the starboard side with the blower duct work in there. I haven't looked to see how tight it is. The leds I just bought chime with 3m tape on the back of them.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Nice Bfun! Is there factory mounting location for amps on the newer boats?

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
I believe the factory location is in the port storage compartment behind the front bow seat back. This is were the factory installed power wires for the amp are.
