I've posted this in other places, but thought I'd put it here for my Funship buddies.

My boat came with 2 courtesy lights, so I installed 2 additional ones for a total of 4, then put red LEDs in all 4. You can see my dash in the pic, which I also converted to red LEDs

What my dash looks like now. (courtesy lights are on in the background)

I added 4 blue superbright LEDs and mounted them under the swim platform. I bought the LEDs here:

and this is the result... (I'll get some "in the water" pics of these as soon as I can)

How did you mount them under the platform?

I have 4 of them, so I drilled 4 3/8" holes under the swim platform. The LEDS fit snugly in the holes, and I added a small amount of waterproof silicone just in case. The 4 lights are then wired together and ran to an unused accessory switch on my dashboard.

nice photos - looks great!

I was cleaning my 08 F204 today and it was the first time I ever noticed the LED illumination above the switches on the dash - what a great surprise! I love this boat more every season.

Can you give some details or photos on how you did the courtesy lights in the bow section? I am thinking about adding some. Thanks

do a search for LED in the electrical section. You'll find several detailed writeups, including the one I did.

Each guage has 1-3 bulbs inserted into the back of them. Take them out and replace them with an LED bulb.

Haven't been able to look into the LED's I figured I would turn to another fun project pulling my duoprop and it has not been a fun project at all!
