LED lights and what not
« on: February 15, 2010, 07:19:35 PM »
i was off today and felt like doing some work to the boat. (sorry for the crappy cell phone pics)

1. changed the old bow and stern light to LED lights


2. replaced the incandescent courtesy lights with blue LED's






i also removed my single battery switch in favor of a dual battery setup and hooked my single bank charger up to the switch so i can choose which battery i want to charge...
