Nice! Put up some pics once in the water. Should look like a stadium behind your boat. 15 minutes? Shoot, it takes me that long to carry the tools over to the boat and get started :grin:

I have the tab ones already, I was wondering if that center one could crack off if I beached the aft a little. We try to get as close as we can to the barrier islands and sand spits from time to time. Are they solid enough to get a little rubbing? How much was it?

Wow, if your going to hit that Light, when you beach the boat, that's a little too close for me, you should only beach the bow and gently at that... and they are on sale at Hurley marine right now, check out the site and see...... I'm hoping they will look great..

Where did you buy the trim tab lites from

15 mins means you didn't do a Frank W. type install and drill a larger hole which gets fiberglassed and then pass the cable through with 5200 surrounding and sealing. The point is just in case the 5200 leaks you won't have transom problems! That center light is just begging to be cracked off. Don't mean to knock your install but a serious point to consider. Great idea and I would love to have transom lights also! The trim tap light idea gets knocked because if you have a bulb go out you have to pull the boat. My thoughts are just loop enough cable outside the hull that would allow you to jump in the water and pull them off to be opened up above the water and bulbs changed.
