[QUOTE="andy409, post: 420768, member: 21579"] Got a lot done over the weekend. I decided to go with LEDs for the boat over HPS. Here is a full list of LEDs that will be installed on the boat. [list] [*]10 Flood lights [*]Navigation lights [*]5 Compartment lights[/list] [img]https://i.imgur.com/IeckzHS.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/py0dQkv.jpg[/img] For the flood light installation, I started by cutting 1/2" schedule 40 PVC tube every 2" to make spacers. Reason for the 2" spacers will be revealed below once the lights are installed. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WGBOK5t.jpg[/img] But first LED navigation lights are installed. Very bright! [img]https://i.imgur.com/jogqnkV.jpg[/img] With the 2" spacers, I used stainless steel bolts with locking washers and nuts to install the lights. Took a little massaging for the first one, but the rest fell in pretty quickly after that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Ialoak.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/iP45L1z.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4NqjTHp.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/LYfhr0Y.jpg[/img] The 2" riser serves dual purpose. First is to lower the lights so that they would not be partially covered by the casting deck frame. Second is when the lights are not in use, they will fold up into the deck to reduce accidental damage and minimize salt spray for prolonged life. [img]https://i.imgur.com/bMGuTPM.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
