I just did my own but with an improvement. I placed an 1156 socket so that way when the bulb goes out it's just a swap.

Thank you Sir , I've got another video on just the nav light like I was saying in the video , and I'm getting ready to make another video about a cool kayak DIY idea I had so click the bell or just check back by buddy I think you like it as well . I appreciate you commenting I love feed back and I appreciate you watching as well
I am getting into kayak fishing. I have two Lightning Strikes ordered. My wife wouldn’t go for me getting one unless I got a extra one for my Son or someone else. My Late Fathers best friend died while fishing by hisself and he didn’t go for fishing alone. This is a great idea and I am subscribed to your videos. I am just blown away by how many people share ideas. I think this is why I am drawn to this sport. Thank you for your great ideas. Learning a lot and boats hasn’t come in yet. Hope I got a good one!

That's awesome man , I go by myself on a kayak sometimes . But I've never been at night by myself . I've also never flip mine but almost did once . Always go with someone at least till you get comfortable any type boating can be dangerous
Solid work!! Crazy how stuff is almost made to fit other stuff. If you ever have a plastic gas can and lose the cap to the end of the plastic tube a 3/4" PVC cap fits perfect. I've been using one for 10 years and haven't lost it yet.

Dude, you are the man. Another great idea and build that outperforms anything that you could buy. I am in the middle of making mine. I went with a 1" PVC pipe for the LED strip light to wrap around. I also used a 4 way 1/2" T, and added two switches, one for the strip lights and one for the Nav light. I don't have a 12V battery yet, tried my house alarm's 12V battery, but it is so old that it is only kickin' out 7.56V! So I wired my lighting up to the alarm system where the 12V battery would otherwise be connected to. I did this to ensure that all my wire to wire and wire to switch connections were solid before gluing everything together. I bought LED strip lights that had a plug style connection, so I just grabbed an old charger of some sort that fit the LED, and it works great.
Man do I love watching your videos! This is going to be my new nav light for my Jon boat... *Thank You* for sharing all that you do!!!
Really enjoyed the video going to give it a try. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

Nice job on the video, and I’m glad you made the update. I was planning to follow your original video, using just the top light. Now, I think I’ll go ahead and add the led strips just in case. If nothing else, it will be good have the extra lights when I’m unloading the kayak in the dark. Please keep cranking out the videos. I enjoy them.

I built this, and it works extremely well. I fish in saltwater, and found that the led strip is not as waterproof as the manufacturer would have us believe. I had to re-solder an led connection that corroded under the clear material covering the strip, and resulted in half the strip going out. My solution was to order a marine grade clear shrink tube from Amazon. The shrink tube has a clear heat activated glue lining the inside that seals everything off from the elements, it's also pretty thick, so it protects the led's from bumps in the night. I've had it working now for about a year with no problems.

Thank you buddy , you know you need one of these nav lights Robert that way you can see them Alligators trying to sneak up on ya haha
Over here in Australia we have to have the white nav light as you call it, here it's an anchor light & the nav lights are the red green port starboard lights. So if you can find a neat way to make those DIY then great, all powered boats by law need the red green nav lights that are greater than 54 lumens so that they can be seen for 2 miles. I'm making a 10 foot longtail catamaran that also has hydro foils with a 13 HP motor which should reach about 40mph while it's off the water.
@FishinNStuff
5 жыл бұрын
That' sounds like an awesome boat , over here in America or laws are the same as yours for power boats , but on kayaks they don't want you running green and red because boats can mistake you for another boat , and you don't have the speed to move out of the way . Is better they think your a anchored boat because a basically that's what you are moving 2 or 3 mph lol the brake light used on this Nav light is well beyond 50 lumens if I had to guess I would say closer to 250 lumens. But im sure you could make Nav lights for a boat using the same principle id you wanted . I appreciate you commenting buddy . I like learning too
I will have to try this!! Great idea bud!!

Soldering is never overkill,it’s piece of mind. Especially when dealing with DC voltage and moisture. On a side note.. when I solder I connect the wire horizontally, twist together,solder then shrink tube. Takes up less room.

I needed to replace the Nav light on my Pontoon boat, I decided I didn't like it on the Bimini frame. So I ordered up an LED replacement that said it was BRIGHT. Oh it surely is! Best part is it is bright enough to use for a general light for fishin. Even with my old eyes, I can find stuff in my Tackle boxes. LED's are the bomb for fishin.
Awesome idea!

Thanks for the great idea. I made one change. For fitting the led brake light, I used a heat gun to soften the 1/2 in. PVC pipe, the simply pushed the base of the light into the PVC and held it there until cooled and pipe once again hard. I'm sure I'm not the first. I actually prefer the single brake light vs. the strip light. My strip light became so hot after 20 minutes that the 3/4" pipe soften and bent. I was testing the battery. I'm sure it will work if I o ly use it a few minutes for video.
