Buzz, I spoke with Abyss. Was going to get the blue ones you have, but he stalled me a bit by saying New England waters may not be conducive to blue ... and I would be better off with white. It is pretty murky everywhere. Your thoughts? Thanks, Scott

Not knowing how murky the water is where you intend to use the lights I can't say for sure. I have been to Point Judith, Road Island and the water seemed clear enough there to use blue lights. I live on a murky deep water creek and they work well enough for me. We use the lights more when we are staying at a marina near an inlet or anchored at night fishing. Where the water is clearer (not clear but clearer). In my area most people go with blue. I went with two blue s1515 lights and I'm satisfied. I'm not sure I have been much help but I would go with blue. Buzz

Scott Speaking of Tuna are you heading up our way to chase some this summer?. I hope to be staying in PTown the week ending on 8-22. I have to stay over there. I can't make it out of Plymouth to Stellwagen as quick as you can. Brian 1986 Bertram 33 FBC Mercruisers Seahorse Ellisville Harbor, Ma

I just bought a bunch of Green 1 watt LEDs. I am going to "pot" them up in clear epoxy that I use to make lure heads. The stuff is clear and tough. Plus it can be buffed to a high gloss. I will polish them with Rejex to keep the bad stuff off for a while. The good thing about this epoxy is you can rub/polish them with a rag midseason and then just buff them up in the spring when you are doing the hull. I figure if this works like I think there should be plenty bright. The plan is to use three spot LEDs and 2 flood LEDs per unit. I went with the nuclear green the attract fish. I have already replaced the dome lights in the 35B with there little buggers. All I did was remove the 12V bulb and holder; bolt in the warm white LED flood version and reassemble. I hooked up one one of the green spots and it lite up the living room. The beam it projected on the opposite wall was amazing from a 1 watt LED. You can't look into them they will blind you. This new generation LED is amazing.

Speaking of lights, I installed the Blue Hella 3" Round Courtesy lights in the cockpit. Replacing the old, tired looking Perko's. Very nice flush mount design. The unit is very high quality, they are made in Switzerland and easy to install. They're LED and throw a lot of light. I'm sure they will be a big hit a PCTP. Like Charlie said, the new LED's are amazing. I'm sure it won't be long before $1,000 dollar underwater lights will be a thing of the past, and cheaper LED's will rule.
