Hi guys,
Here are updates of the weekend.
New steering wheel in place. I almost had to destroy the factory one because the keyway was in a bad position. I had to drill a hole in the factory hub to acces it.
It looks great, but it's closer to the dash, I have to build a spacer to get 2-3 more centimeters.

I also wired and fired the front RGB leds. Speed of the RGB controler fade is too fast IMO, but I can choose any color I want.
I will place 2 more under rear cup holders, a 3 leds module under the dash board, and maybe one in the little hatch behind the engine dog house. I fired it around 6 pm today, with daylight, it seems powerfull and shinny.

Looking good. I don't know about that particular RGB controller you linked (and I can't read the French manual), but most have an adjustment for the speed of the fade in addition to color selection.
Thanks guys.
I'm proud of it. I swear I didn't drill any hole in my boat or kill any animal to do this :)
I did this video to show how many colours I can get, but definatly I use it with fixed colour (pink and purple are sexy colours on the boat), my boat is not a christmas tree :p
Can't wait to receive the stuff to make the underwater Led spot, I'm sur you will love it, how it's simple to make and how cheap it is ;)
Stay tuned
ngavdba my girlfriend wants you to invite us in Georgia ! what is there to visit anyway appart your boat ?
Hey guys. Here is one of the last update of the season, as the boat is now on the trailer, ready for winterizing.
So, as I post before, I find the new steering wheel too close to the dash. So I decided to built a freebie hub rizer. Here is how I proceed : I asked to my metal partner company to give me 20 pieces of 2mm thickness aluminium washer. As you can see, finition was average, because they use a punching machine.
I then glued all those washer together with cyanoacrylate glue.
Then I screwed it to get a solid piece and I started to hand file it. Then I polished it with the same tools I used for the TSB face and the seat feet.
Here are photos :

I bought longer SS screws :

That's badass. What's the finished product look like? How do you like the new wheel? Pictures?

Easy and cheap ;)
Maybe it's not the best way to rize a hub, but it's shinny and looks like factory
I failed my first attempt on the underwater led. It works but it's awful. So I have to work more on it.
