I installed the same lights in a friends boat a few weeks later. We cleaned his really well and the tape still didn’t hold well in a few places. We ended up adding some 3M Auto Exterior Attachment Tape that’s used for securing body trim to the lights and it holds much better than the tape that comes with the lights. I’d suggest getting a couple of rolls of this and using it on the initial install. If not, definitely make sure you have some on hand for repairs when the other tape fails.

These lights are REALLY bright. This one strip of lights puts off more than enough light to fish with without ever turning on another light. They make it easy to see everything in the boat and provide more than enough light for making catfish rigs, baiting hooks etc.

I started shopping around looking at different options and got overwhelmed pretty quickly. There’s hundreds if not thousands of different options and brands available. I found lights that were as cheap as $10 to some that were as much as $600 to $700 for a set to outfit a boat.

After doing some research online and talking to a few different anglers about LED lights for boats I made a decision. I looked at a couple of boats with $700 LED lights installed and a couple with the cheap LED lights installed also and I couldn’t really tell the difference between the two options. The biggest difference between the cheap and expensive options seemed to be the warranty and longevity of the product.

This past winter I was catching shad early one morning in the dark. I stepped down off the front deck to grab my iPilot remote. It was pitch black outside and I was in a hurry and I tripped and fell in the front of the boat. I fell hard enough that I was banged up, scraped and bruised in multiple areas and it took me a few days to recover.

As the name suggests, underwater lights are placed at the lower surface of the boat. They will therefore be near the water surface or submerged in it. The lights are used to attract water creatures especially in the night. This makes it easy to observe marine life and also when fishing. Some people install the lights to make the boat standout. Since the lights are placed near water, they come in a waterproof enclosure. Due to being more waterproof, LED lights are most popular. [links]

In many cases, the law requires sailors and mariners to install an anchor light on the watercraft. The light indicates the location of a vessel at the dock. It also alerts other boat owners that it has simply docked, and there is no problem. As part of safe boating procedures, the light is required to be bright white. This makes it easy to see the boat in the dark as well as in poor visibility. more

Searchlights are used for locating something on the deck or in the water. The lights are, therefore, not used as frequently as other lights. Considering that the location has to be well lit, the lights provide a lot of illumination over a wide area. In addition, the lights can be rotated or turned to face any angle easily. Searchlights are normally placed at a central position so as to cover any part of the vessel when the need arises. [links]

This light is mandatory in any water vessel that is power-driven. It is visible from all direction thus indicates the position of the boat. An all-round white light may also double up as an anchor light in case the sidelights aren't functioning or have been switched off. It may also serve as a masthead light and stern light in vessels measuring less than 39.4 feet lengthwise. more

Courtesy lights are more decorative as opposed to being functional. They will only provide a minimal amount of lighting. Furthermore, they are placed in hidden or slightly hidden places thus the brightness is seen without necessarily seeing the fixture. Common areas where the marine boat lights are fixed include under the counter, table, or on the edge of the boat. Due to their small size a number of lights will be placed within an area. LED strips and ribbons make good courtesy lights.

This year we purchased a 1990 Sumerset houseboat and upon suggestion by Sumerset we purchased the "owners manual" they published around 2007 but such did not answer a number of our questions.

When it comes to houseboat electrical power distribution, there's a big AC/DC circuit breaker panel on our Sumerset houseboat.

For folks with new installations, remodels, or refurbish projects, you may end up needing to find AC or DC electrical distribution panels, parts, breakers, labels, and switches, for the popular makes and brands.
