Grab an extra set of hands and some clamps and you’ll be just fine!! And wear long sleeves and safety glasses for drilling those crossmembers!

Thanks for your help and advice. Big help!!

@@tomspontoons well, hope it buys you two a breakfast or a couple of margaritas while on your boat. Appreciate you help. 🍻👍🏼

Trying to update a 10 or 15-year-old pontoon boat and get it looking like new again. With upgraded lighting. And your videos have been very, very helpful on seating, panels, and floor replacements.

She's still a maniac, but becoming a larger sized maniac so fast...and she's not even close to being done growing I don't think!

I have 76 ft of them on my garden border here in Florida, and they are regularly submerged when it rains. The connections out of the box are not IP67 even though the LEDs are encased in silicon sleves like yours. I replaced them with waterproof Xconnect pigtails. Have not had failures in 4 years. The controller has built-in wifi, so I can control light effects using WLED app on my phone. My boat installation is new, but I am confident it will hold up just fine in the Central Florida lakes. I even have them on my golf cart and roof line of my home. It is a bit more complicated because I solder and seal all my connections, which is something the average person probably would prefer not to do.

Thank you, but it’s been quite a while now!

How do you install the LED lights on the seats and hide the wires? And installing dock lights onto your panels and keep it clean and hidden as well with the wiring. Haven’t seen a video on either one of these two yet.

I have my toon lights installed about the same way. Except I have an additional data wire because I am using WS2811 IP67 individually addressable LEDs controlled with a dig2Go controller from DrZz.

The only color-changing lights I've trusted to install are the ones from Green Blob Outdoors. I will have to look into the ones you mentioned. I found that the connections of the lights and controllers on cheaper sets from amazon are in awkward spots and will not hold up to the marine environment for the long haul.

Hi , nice video. Where can I buy the LED strips from?

Tom, do these lights help with picking up chicks or do they just help prevent cavitation?

@tomspontoons

Haha! I couldn't tell you...but they definitely prevent evening cavitation from happening!

Will this create shadowing at every brace since it’s breaking the chain of light?

@tomspontoons

Ай бұрын

There's so many LEDs and light coverage by the time it hits the water that it doesn't create shadows.
