Underwater LED Light Installation 

Perfect. Love that you over size the holes in the gel coat, did not use any gaskets, and positioned the wires so the sealant will not crack after it cures.

Thanks! This boat has lots and lots of holes!! To answer a couple questions, drilling out from the outside would have made it difficult to get the exactly where I wanted it. I had some wiggle room on the inside wherever the hole popped through, not outside though. I'll post a video of the intensity in clear water. It's really impressive. I love the West Marine lights. It's been about a year now and they are working great with no finish issues. For the money they are great!! Really happy.

You have some guts, i will never drill anything below the waterline.

We love the video and we are thrilled to hear that you are happy with the lights!

I just put my transom lights on tonight on my Boston Whaler.....instead of drilling a hole thew the boat I made a puck for the lights and externally ran the wires under the rub rail..think it came out looking pretty good

You did a great job.

that paint on your power pole looks good

Bobby, Great instructional video! I like that you countersink your fasteners; great tip!

good job as a new boat owner i would have liked to have seen you wire the switch etc i know you said it was easy but when you never did it before it would be good to see thanks

I love guys who have no qualms about drilling into their hulls. Nice. :)

thanks, great helps

Thanks I'm adding white lights in my 240 sun dancer here in FL. Thanks for the video, gives me a better ideal of what i have to do. What was the sealant you used again? And did you also get it from West Marine?

Thanks for sharing

where did you get the power pole wrap! thats awesome

When you put the first light in at the beginning of the video you drilled 3 pin holes for the screws an then went back with a another bit but only went in 1/4 of the way in so something would sit recessed in that screw hole. I think those plastic washers were supposed to go behind the light and sit in that recessed screw hole. I think that would have made a better seal.

Not questioning your work, but I literally cringed when you started drilling through the hull below the water line haha.

I know this is an old post, but just wondering if any updates on the lights lasting and any water leaking?? From my understanding the 5200 adhesive is really good but if your light screws up how to you replace it if you wanted to? I just ordered the same lights, but not reluctant to installing them because of the adhesive and/or leaking

What's the black cylinder hooked to the stainless plate for?

Does it drain alot of battery. Thinking about install 4 on transom. Did u run the wire to your starter battery? I have a bass boat n not sure which one to connect to.please help. Thank you.

good vid! Comment/question? Instead of all the measuring and remeasuring down from the board, why not just drill a small pilot hole from inside out to avoid lines etc?Any chip outs will be gone when you enlarge wire hole from the outside in. VId well done! How do you like the West marine LEDs?
