When Im trailering the boat, its so light I sometimes cant tell if its even back there, and early morning its so dark I just cant see it back there so Im adding a LED light on the upright where the wench is...

Ive drilled the holes for the wire:

Im thinking itll help me see the bow of the boat

Same trailer set up here. I need to get out to where your fishing - I'm always on the hillsborough River or lakes. Awesome boat.

I'm pretty new to the site.
Just starting my first conversion.
I like how yours is coming along.
Definitely looking at some of your ideas!!
Great job.

Don't know the laws about running on the road with a white light facing to the rear. Could be out of compliance. About all the foam being sealed under the floors no water can get in is good in theory. If you get a leak in the hull any where forward you will take on water with no place for it to go. Just a thought. keep the photos coming!

 

[LeftCoastAngler]

Im hoping for no leaks.
In therory, Ive sealed all the rivets.

 

[LeftCoastAngler]

I dont think this light will obstruct anyones vision.
Plus its under the bow..
I would hope the cops have some bigger fish to fry at 4:30 in the mornings anyway....

The yellow/amber ones a reflector, not a light BTW.

Dont think it is a problem as long as it doesn't project directly into the vision of the traffic behind you. If it did then someone could think they are looking at a bike headlight or something. (I dont see you having any problems IMO)

Thanksbud.
Is your boat rivetted?
Exact same model as mine?

Same except mine is a 14ft. I would really like that two extra feet though lol.

 

[tom.goins]

Great idea for the light! Will be a big help with loading/unloading at night. Definitely going to add that to mine.

 

[Captain Ahab]

Put a switch on the light
