blue light special
 

I took these pics last night. They are blue LED rope lights mounted inside the top of my rod boxes. They make the whole boat glow blue.

Where did you get the rope lights from?

How are they rigged out?

They look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy coooooooooollllll!!!!!!!!!

:beer:

sorry. these should be a little bigger.

it was leftover from a job. A customer with a 31 Contender had me install this under the gunnals around the entire boat. I had about 8' leftover that made its way onto my boat. All I had to buy was two power chords to connect the rope lights to a power source. I used zip ties with screwholes to fasten it to the inner top of the rod box. Then I wired them both to a common switch. Now I just need some matching underwater lights.

I LOVE IT !!!

It looks SUPER and very cool !!!!

Congrats man !!!!

Pete, those look great.....must be great cruising around at night all aglow in blue....Cool ....

btw I think we are definitely going to try and get down that way at least one more time this year....I'll give you a shout if we are down there.

thanks. That would be great to get together again before the end of the season. just give me a heads up before you come down

I put in blue spots aswell this year,very similar to what you have.I mounted up under the gunnell pointing aft which realy have agreat effect !

Brian.......

Me like, I am going to steal that idea.

12volt right?

yes they are 12 volt.

I keep wantin' to replace the insert in my rub-rail w/rope lights...I think it'd look pretty cool goin' across the water at night...and then if you could make the lights "chase" around the boat!!..oooeee...it'd look like a freakin' UFO!!

Sure would increase nighttime visibility on the water...

Have you checked out this site.....He has a lot of cool stuff.......

SWEEEEEEEEET. Thats my favorite color. I would like those same lights in mine one day. I was reading about them a while back and they were saying that you need a resistor to limit the voltage to a certian range so they dont blow.

Did you add any resistor, how did you wire them?

Turbo

they are wired directly to 12 volts. no resister was necessary. I just cut it to length and connect to power.
