Added the 2 additional lights on the weekend, so here's what I've got so far.

14849; 14846; 14847; 14848; 14845

The 2 additional lights are still below the water line, and punching the whole through the transom was still contained within the storage compartment, just above the ballast bag feed lines.

Was then able to tie the wiring to the back side of the ballast bag feed lines to keep them out of sight for other than a small wire coming through inside.

This was the flatest surface that existed on the transom in order to maximize straight out light dispersion. The are just slightly off 90 degrees hence why they are not as straight as the centre.

Then tied into the existing wiring that was in place for the first light, and "voila" (that's french).

Thought about other locations, but the centre light is already quite bright so wanted to create a larger area of light.

Night pictures forthcoming after July long weekend.

Until then...

Looks awesome, should light up the wave nicely if you want to do some night surfing.

this install I really like. Those two oval looking likes on the port and starboard side of the transom are very nice. much better profile than something else I've seen. I'm interested to see your night pictures, bet it looks great. Have any pictures of the actual holes you drilled for each light?

It's just a 3/8 hole like the manufacturer recommends. Sorry no picture of it. Very simple install.

Hopefully night pictures coming in 2 weeks.

were you crying when you drilled some holes into the back of your boat? or were you slightly intox and said " F*#& IT, lets do this" haha

All of the above.

It's like beating your child. Sometimes it needs to be done, but you hate to do it...(that was humour)
