Under $100 Mods

[jonyb]

jonyb, how'd you manage to do the under-platform LED's? Did you do it yourself? Was it difficult? Did you create them their own seperate switch? It scares me drilling gaping holes below the waterline, haha. And please tell me you did it for less than $100

For wiring I did something that didn't work. I used the platform brackets for the power and ground. Like I said, it didn't work so I won't elaborate. The LED's are from superbrightleds and are 30 modules in 1 string. Each module has 2 led's and are spaced 3" apart. The string was about $80. I wired them into the transom light.

Haha hes gotcha there that is a baller upgrade! Nice though. Love the cupholder LEDs, which ones did you go with, the single LED or the oznium superbright 4chip LED?

Don't know if that first one was directed at me, but I used the Oznium lights.

jonyb, got a link for where you got those? That sounds like a great idea, esp. wiring it into the transom light. Did you not freak out drilling gigantic holes below the waterline, or did you have someone else install them?

Hey Travis ... did you look into that "Tower Sock" at newtproducts?

It would cover ALL the stuff up there, not just the speakers. I may look into that
for when the boat is just sitting there ... like NOW.

I didn't drill holes in the boat. I used the platform brackets, then ran wires to the bolts inside the boat to power the brackets.

That looks cool, especially if you store your boat outdoors. I does cover up the light on the tower, but not a big deal. I wonder how much they want for those?

Sorry Jony I forgot that u had Ozniums under the platform, I thought they were transom lights.

[tg0824SSVGG]

I really want to do transom lights. I really really do -- however, the shadowcasters I would do would cost me $1200+ for what I want -- so that's not happening any
time soon.

(

I highly recommend the wakeworld bbs article on underwater lights to anyone
considering these. There is a very thorough test/comparison done to just about
all the transom lights out there.

Some are WAYYY less $$ than what I just posted -- I just determined that I like
the ShadowCaster the best. But then, this topic would need at least one more 0
in the title before this would really belong there.

^ And now you can;t even get the cheap ones for under $100. I found em on eBay for $104 EACH! And Bullet Lines sells em for like $169 EACH or something crazy...the group buy the did got em for like $70 I thought.

Wish I had gotten in on that.

Superbright's under the platform, ozniums in the cupholders

[docdrs]

these high intensity spots ozniums are only about 17 each ...so you could put 5 on your transom for under 100
