Do they go on the opposite sides since they are from Australia?

Re: They are Here
 
Gotta decide now, that starborad for the pulpit is 1 1/2 thick. Will the size of te pulpit block the lights??? or should I have a 1 1/2 spacer made for each bow light to sit on. Or mount the lights to the pulpit, but the chain could hit the lights ??

Hammer, how long did it take to get them?

parishht 04-13-2007 06:29 PM

Re: They are Here
 
I don't think you have to worry about lifting the lights.

I belive they just have to be visible from a distance
so that green and red can be determined for
which side an oncoming vessel is to pass.

Check out this link:

It's OK if the pulpit blocks the lights. They should only be seen from one side of the boat anyhow.

Looking good Hammer :)

msbhammer 04-13-2007 06:42 PM

Re: They are Here
 
Thanks for the info guys. *;)

Took only 10 days I believe. Was held up due to the Easter weekend. Thats ok though, I wont be installing them till I get me some starboard. Thats next. well after I get the other tilit trim motor next weekend in Philly.

Airslot 04-13-2007 06:46 PM

Re: They are Here
 
Just let me know when we are getting our pulpits ;D

msbhammer 04-13-2007 06:47 PM

Re: They are Here
 
Will do AIR. I see it coming soon. *;)
Never did find out if Warner got that piece of starboard or not ?

Airslot 04-13-2007 07:17 PM

Re: They are Here
 
In one of the pics you posted they actually had the end rounded. Will they do that as well?

msbhammer 04-13-2007 08:10 PM

Re: They are Here
 
Yes, from speaking to te guy AIR, he can do anything you want, for an extra fee of course.

Airslot 04-13-2007 09:14 PM

Re: They are Here
 
Might be worth finding out what that fee might be ;D

Re: They are Here
 
I hate to say it but they look like side lights??

Side lights have a lens that goes from front to back like them, so you can see them from front and side of boat.

Bow lights lens go front to side so you can see front and side while driving.

Side lights here, as you can see you see from front or side light runs front to back

Bow lights, as you seee here they run side to side to see front and rear

Re: They are Here
 
The more I look at these lights, the more pissed I get.
Didnt realize they were side light >:( >:( >:( >:(
M.J. so how ya gonna wire yours ? You have access to where they be mounted at. What about getting to the otherside behind the helm to the fuse box. Cant just cut acroos te the bow because of the hatch. ??? ???

Nope...not like REEL'S...but whole time I's readin' thru this I's thinkin' what MJ said about mountin' 'em on the windshield bulkhead ... I think they'd be REELY COOL there 8) 8) ...tell ya what...have Lisa hold one of 'em in place under the windshield, post the pic and we'll vote on it ;) ...power of the board ;D ...

Wire around (forward of it) the hatch opening...I've got several wires goin' around front of mine...just gotta hide/secure 'em ;) ...I think those lights gonna look GREAT up there ;D ...

msbhammer 04-14-2007 01:17 AM

Re: They are Here
 
I would have to mount these on the sides correct. On the short side of the windshield. Port/starboard side.
Hoping I have access on the sides. I'll give it a shot I guess. Dont wanna eat 66 bucks on my stupidity. :-/

msbhammer 04-14-2007 01:18 AM

Re: They are Here
 
If Lisa is in the Hooters shirt, you guys may not be able to give a fair and reasonable vote on how her lights/ oops I meant my bow ligts work. :P

Re: They are Here
 
Its a factory Wellcraft decal made out of hard plastic.
Well, I guess I will try and see if I can install the lights there. Just hope I can get a wreck in there to tighten te bolt down. Could just screw it to the side, but would get loose I think.

Lots a stuff on mine been screwed down since 1999...as long as it's not structural or bears LOTS of weight...heck, screw 'em...if they work lose later, you can always go back and thru-bolt 'em ;) ...

Re: They are Here
 
Reel, MJ, Hammer and anybody that's got them lights: Is there any problem of reflection at night by the lights distracting or blinding you? I had already made up my mind to mount mine there but was worried it.

macojoe 04-14-2007 08:05 AM

Re: They are Here
 
I am going to mount mine in the same place, as for wires I am going to go all the way around the cabin, use some zip ties to hold.
As for screwing them on, Just drill and screw with some caulking, Not 5200!!
5200 will glue there forever!! Just some light caulk will be fine. You might need to replace at some time?

See you went and out bid me, Now I punish you, and gave you the wrong ones!! ;) ;D

macojoe 04-14-2007 08:08 AM

Re: They are Here
 
Don't forget to put the right color on the right side!!

Red on the right, Green on the left ::)

msbhammer 04-14-2007 08:34 AM

Re: They are Here
 
LOl, I'll sell them to ya cheap. ;D

macojoe 04-14-2007 08:40 AM

Re: They are Here

Re: They are Here
 
When Parissht stopped by, he brought his homemade V20 flag with him. Looked pretty good. ;)

parishht 04-14-2007 11:28 PM

Re: They are Here
 
Remember we discussed putting the lights on either side of the pulpit,
just angle them out board.

Oncoming vessels are who need to see them.

HAMMER, it was a nice visit this afternoon, pictures just don't
do justice to all the projects you are accomplishing.
