I like to lights Charlie has posted...I like the idea of installing them on the trim tabs - and I am getting ready to install a GPS/Sonar so why not run these wires thru the same whole as my transducer? I guess I could route them to my aux/accy switch huh?
 
I know the attached is a different brand of light but this is kind of how i thought I would install them on the trim tabs...

now that i look at my trim tabs....they are angled to match the Vee of the boat so mounting them flush on the trim tab would point the light out at an angle, not directly behind the boat like I think I want...I guess I will need to figure out a shim or something or maybe bend the mounting brackets equally

Here are the lights. They attracted dozens of fish and one big bird that enjoyed snacking on them, one at a time. The lights are much brighter than I expected. There is some reflection with them mounted above the water, but I think it's worth it to keep them clean and to get the right angles.

Can I get a "Congrats" or "Hey looks good" or "Not my choice of lights, but I'm sure it works for you" or something? Lights seem to be a hot topic, and I've wanted them for a year and finally got them. I think they're pretty cool and really recommend them. The point behind the pictures is answering other's questions about why on earth someone would spend money on underwater lights. It's all about nature.

I plan on putting a camera back there and wiring it to the TV's on board. I have a salt water tank at home, and just love to look in the water. Now I'll be able to do it while sitting back and sipping a cool one.

Thank you guys for humoring me. I really do like them.
 
Abyss has a whole line-up of LED underwater lights that are affordable. We have them listed here: http://www.byownerelectronics.com/store/search.php?mode=search&page=1

There is a guy on this site that build underwater lights, i think it is Hurley. There are some bad brands of trim tab lights out there too so make sure you know what you are getting into. Here is a thread on THT from a guy that got burned with some el cheapo trim tab mounted lights: http://www.thehulltruth.com/forums/...ight=underwater+lights+beware&highlightmode=1
 
WOW Jim! Thanks, you just saved me some money. Time for plan "B"

The imitations and pirates of this design have given a lot of people a bad taste.

Being the original designer with the patent pending design of the trim tab lights we have always stated your stainless steel housings and brackets should be coated. We suggest using PropSpeed by Detco if they are going to be immersed in salt water. Even trim tabs are painted. No metal should be uncoated in a corrosive environment!

Additionally, we believe in this design so much that we now have taken it a step further by redesigning the housing in a Polyvinyl Chloride (pvc) model. It is a tough, chemically resistant synthetic resin made by polymerizing vinyl chloride. This beauty is lightweight, resists corrosion and electrolysis. The brackets are powder coated to help withstand harsh environments. The best part is that they are cheaper in cost than the stainless steel version.

Our dealer just installled lights under our swim platform on our 290da. they point down and slightly out. they tell us we'll get about a 10 ft radius. We turned them on tonight in the slip and they looked cool! they are wired into our #2 accessory switch
 
I will be the first to admit , Hurly trim tab underwater lights are "the best". I have them on my 320 and I get a lot more then 10' of illumination. More like 25 feet.
I will also be purchasing more lights from hurley Marine, maybe the center drain hole light, but I'm looking into ways of mounting a full set of 2 trim tab lights in the center to give it even a larger more clear spectrum of light... to light up the whole back end.
 
Beware.........

Well it seams that "boater4life" is a bit upset with my new inovative design and installation of water fountain lights.
