Originally posted by MikeskiI installed my under platform lights just because I though they would look cool. Now I use them as backup lights, lights to help put stuff away after an evening ride, lights for the tent area behind the boat when we trailer in camp, etc. Surprisingly I find them quite convenient and useful. Note mine are LEDs that run full brightness in or out of the water, not the Halogen styles that dim when they get hot like the CC units.2018 200 Team H6

This is a link to Abyss lights.

Factory install on Mastercraft and Tige.
I put the L800's on my 05 196.
I am not sure who is supplying CC with there factory installs.
It is difficult to describe how bright these lights are. Out of water in a dark room they are blinding.2018 200 Team H6

I went for the blue L800.
I paid less than the list but it was still a fair chunk of change. Since I knew I was selling the boat I mounted mine on the aluminum strut for the platform and then ran the wires up between the platform and transom and into the vent at the rear of the boat. Doing it this way the lights faced outward and to the side. Tied the electrical into the stern light and operated them with the dash light switch.
Permanent install requires the drilling of three holes in the hull, two to anchor which are not through the hull, an one through the hull for the aluminum nipple that the wires run through. They give you a very accurate template but I know what you mean about drilling holes in the hull.
These are obvious bling items. I did it because we used my boat for a couple of acts in a night water ski show and I wanted something a little different.2018 200 Team H6
