My lights under the gunnel aren't working any more. Seems the little plastic converter box didn't like the salt water.
I've got a young man ( one of my eagle scouts) who has some electrical gear and we are going to make a radio frequency remote to turn them on. We are going to pot the whole thing in epoxy so the salt won't eat it up. Plus I'll add a remote that I can turn on and off 100' away.
I know, most people don't see a need for that.
Well I hunt and fish after hours. If I'm coming out of the woods to the waters edge, I can flip the lights on and see where my boat is. Also, when duck hunting, I can have everyone get their gear and be walking away and turn them off without having to get back into the boat. I see endless possibilities. I could even turn the lights on after launching and see where my boat is when a buddy is parking it. ( nothing more frustrating than having 10 boats at the launch and everyone scrambling in the dark and not knowing which side of the 3 lane launch to find my boat.) Now I'll know.
Should have the epoxy poured tonight. Probably order the remote on off switch tonight too, depending on how well this RF works on the part we will install tomorrow. If it will work away from the boat, I'll be happy and then not install the other part. Just have to see.
Also, I put some step bars on my truck for my wife ( now she doesn't need to jump) so I may take a white LED strip I have and cut it into 4 then put them near the step pad and wire them into the door switch.
Lastly I want to add some lights under my truck and under my trailer. I know, I know, corny. But I'm gonna do it for fun. So here's to fun.
