Underwater Transom LED lights
« on: January 27, 2015, 04:25:31 PM »
I found a great place to get puck lights that mount to your transom without screws at the site below.  Buy the Lexan mounts and they flush mount with heavy duty 3M tape.  I heated the transom and tape with a hair dryer, stuck a light on, and an hour later could not pull it off.  I used zip ties to bring the wiring up my transducer wire into the bilge, then to a dimmer switch on the dash tied into my deck LEDs.  The lights come in several colors, too.

Those look cool, Tom. I guess my question would be "did you put lights there for a specific reason, or just for looks?

Well Curt, let me tell you this... When someone asks, they are for backing in shallow water, to help with launching, etc.  But when I am alone at night and ask myself the same question I answer "because they look cool as heck flying down the lake!"

@Treeman12 thanks for the info on how you installed them. The tape idea is cool :)

With all of the night fishing I do, they might be worth installing just for the extra lighting they'd provide for backing down ramps after dark  8)

These, combined with the blue LEDs I have on the trailer make ALL the difference backing in at night!

Probably doesn't hurt in attracting baitfish also.  (y)
