    DIY Crazy Bright Underwater LED's for $103

    Thanks for the tip Doug, I can use all the help I can get!:smt101 I don't really plan on running them with the engine on. Just at anchor or at the dock.

    Good news is after a thorough inspection. No hull damage! No outdrive damage (save for some minor scratches), Speedo pitot was clogged, and the trim pump leak was just a $11 split brass fitting.
