Now I have 2 Amp charging. Here is my installation. My solar charge controller can only handle one panel. I wired the second panel straight to the battery through a switch first. Now when I need that extra amp I flip the switch to on. The switch is left of charge controller.

My grand kids love this. Remote control lighting. Many colors, dim bright and several strobe effects. We did a practice overnighter in the boat in the backyard to see if they could handle an overnight trip with grandpa. Miley my 3 year old did not pass. Cloey passed.

In this last set of pictures you show the inside of the bow where the bow stem fitting is located. On my 1977 there is an opening in the wood where you can see the stem fitting. It looks like you have an insert in that wood with a drawing of an anchor on it. How is that attached? I have often wanted to cover that hole for both aesthetics and to stop drafts on cold evenings. Any suggestions?

It has a wooden lip facing upwards on the top and downward on the bottom. They are positioned so you have to lift it horizontally and pull the bottom outwards to remove it. A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe I can get in there and get a picture for you later.

They were only 25 bucks on Amazon. 300 led 5020 waterproof strip lights. They really light up the front well. Kids love the colors and disco effects.
