Fab idea! Inset the lights in some aluminum channel and you can show off the stretcher/shrink-er you have for rounded areas, just thought that would be a cool video on fab. Keep up the good work Kyle!

Nice change of pace, Kyle. Sweet pontoon and those lights added a great touch. 👍Love it!

Used some plastic channeling for mine bro, no issues from there. I'm looking for a transom type led but man they are super expensive. Nice work bro.

Use starting fluid(ether) to clean the surface before sticking the tape/leds , plasticizers in the vinyl fabric attacks the adhesive and the lights fall off.

Very cool. I think the kids will love it for years to come.

You can add resistors to the strip lighting to cut the power. It'll darken them a little so they aren't super bright.

Late to your channel but awesome video? Lights look good? Your lake looks similar to lake Anna. Ordering my light set today

Great vid.... Good install info. BTW.... found your video looking for install instructions for toon lighting. The lake looked fimilar, and to my surprise I see the Tiki Hut sign. I have land on the same lake and vaca every summer . Small world. Maybe catch up with the toons on lake....🍻

looks awesome man. only thing i would have done different is went with an RGB led kit. they have a remote, you can dem and change the led to just about any color you want. you can also make the light pulse and change colors

yeah I saw those

Does anyone have a web site with installation instructions on that exact LED set up.

looks great!

I have a question. When you wired the interior lights, did you run wires from the controller box to each seat or did you wire the LEDs in series?

can always add an led controller with remote control for brightness. really cheap on amazon like 6 bucks.

you could do that if needed to then the problem be solved.

Kidde has a FREE recall on that push button fire extinguisher.

It looked nice

looks great

hooked the wire on the lamp 12volt you can dump in the water end it wil burn gr

Add a 12v PWM to the circuit for your inboard LED's. With that you can turn down the voltage and adjust the brightness to them. I like them a lot better then a resistor as they don't create as much heat. Amazon has them and ebay is even cheaper if your willing to wait 3 to 4 weeks.

You might try CA glue on the back of those strips. It's a chemical bonding like super glue, but stronger.

I will keep that in mind

If you use adhesion promotor on the surface first the adhesive stays put , I use the adhesion promoter like what comes in rearview mirror kits or 3M offers the pads www.amazon.com/3M-Adhesion-Promoter-Sponge-Applicator/dp/B01G2BHLG6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1492458256&sr=8-4&keywords=adhesion+promoter I've had the strip LEDs under my Mustang on the pinch weld area and bumpers for 5 years now and still holding by using the adhesion promoter first . Try it , you just might find it worthy of a You Need This Tool episode :)

+Koop they are from a small company called Nectar

They sell track for those light strips. Clips also. Don't use zip ties.

wat you could do should the gleu not hold up is make some strips of plexyglass and screw that over the leds intoo the bench seat with some woodscrews so there clamped in you could use coloured plexyglass to tone the lighting down a little or put some of that darkening foil for car windows over them maibe you can lower the power to the leds with some sort of dimmer in a watertight box and lower the glare that way

Replace it with 3M foam mounting tape. Be sure to clean the area well with alcohol and let dry before applying the adhesive tape/LED strips. Heating the adhesive with a hair dryer will also improve adhesion. You can also mount the strips in aluminum channel made for LEDs.

Odd request incoming...What year and model is your Crest Pontoon? We are trying to get a pair of those light bezels that your dock and navigation lights are mounted to in the front corners. We can't find them anywhere! When we ask parts dealers and even Crest Marine, they don't know what we're asking about. If I can give them a model and year, they should be able to pull that up and finally understand the part I'm trying to get. Your help would be so appreciated. Thank you.

instead of using a resistor or a dimmer i would go for a buck converter like this: goo.gl/Jz4Klk it will provide constant current and it will protect the strip from overvoltage and to much current. you can adjust the voltage and the current on these. i have probably 50 of these use them all the time
