We just bought a 2017 210 SPX. It has no courtesy lights. We would like to add some cool LED lighting. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what to install?
 
Whatever you choose- try to find a place to "tuck" the fixture under or behind so you only see the light cast from the bulb and don't directly see the fixture. Make the light more subdued and less blinding than if you see the bulb directly.
 
I put some of those strip lights around my 18ft bayliner (other boat)down the sides,in the splashwell, and through the bimini bows light the boat up like daytime. This is good for me as I like to night fish and makes it easy to ty lines and overall anything else I need to do. Good thing is I didn't use the expensive ones and also purchased the wiring connectors to be able to cut and splice wire. The only downfall is the Vegas summer sun turns the casing on the wire yellow which dims the exposed lights, the bow light aren't effected since they are covered by the bimini cover. Great news is they use hardly any power can run all night. One downfall is the adhesive back doesn't holdup with the sun here so had to get some double sided carpet tape to restick the outside lights.
