Where did you get the LED strip lights? I want to put some in my bay and was looking at superbrightled.com

Do they say that they are weather resistant?

Bilge is looking good.

The lights are supposed to be water proof. The whole strip is covered in a flexible rubber coating. I got mine off of eBay and they look to be nice and work well. I only ordered two strips (16ft long), but liked them enough to buy two more strips.

I would strongly suggest superbrightleds.com. I have used their waterproof LEDs Strips numerous times and love them. I use their 24 and 48 led strips.

I've got the port side lights installed. I think it will be much better once I get the other side in.



A lot of pollen and stuff off the trees on the floor of the bilge.

It is just amazing how much difference a coat of paint & some lighting makes in the bilge. Your cockpit lighting looks great also, can't wait to see that shiny new blower engine in there. Randy

Nice work. You should see mid to upper 70's with that package. I don't know if you've considered it, but diamond plating looks nice in this model on either side of the engine. It's also easy to wiped down and adds a little bling.
