I don't have enough room 69 00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:42.700 really for one of these thru-hull fitting type underwater lights. 70 00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:44.900 This might fit the bill perfectly. 71 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:46.600 It's available in two different colors 72 00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:48.600 as you can see blue and white John: Right. 73 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.600 Richard: It installs easily with three self tapping screws. 74 00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:53.400 You have the choice of running 75 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.000 a power wire directly behind the light. 76 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.000 Or running it up above the water line and 77 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.200 coming in above the water line with a clam shell. 78 00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:02.200 John: So, there wouldn't be any 79 00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:04.200 installation cost on hiring somebody out, 80 00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:06.200 cutting the hole saw and making sure that 81 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:08.200 your transom is sealed. 82 00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:09.200 And all of that. 83 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:12.200 You do this yourself very easily with three self tapping screws. 84 00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:14.200 And a lot of guys don't want to have a hole 85 00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:16.600 going all the way through their boat underneath the water. 86 00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:18.600 Okay, so what we could do 87 00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:20.800 like on the Whaler, I think what I want to do 88 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.800 is I want to use what's called a p-clamp this is gonna 89 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.800 hold the wire 90 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.200 to the transom so that it's nice and vertical. 91 00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:30.200 I also want it to look nice. And then we can drill 92 00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:32.200 a hole all the way through the boat. 93 00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:34.100 A very small hole, by the way. 94 00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:36.400 All the way through the boat but well above the water line 95 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.400 that will never, kinda 96 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.900 kinda leak. Alright? 97 00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:41.900 But we do want to seal that with silicon 98 00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:43.200 and you know and your sealants. 99 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:45.500 Use silicon above the water line that's fine. 100 00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:48.300 But use your permanent polyurethane adhesives 101 00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.300 down below the water line. Okay? 102 00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:52.700 That's just a little tip there but just some self tapping screws. 103 00:03:52.700 --> 00:03:55.200 Give me a price point. You know not everybody wants 104 00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:57.500 to spend the big money on some of these 105 00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.900 1500 dollar, 3000 dollar underwater lights. 106 00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:03.900 Okay, because they're into sport fishing 107 00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:07.200 or fishing at night. How much does this light run? 108 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:09.500 Richard: John these run about $110 for those lights. 109 00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:12.100 About 150 dollars for the single light. 110 00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:15.300 We also sell them as a two pack for 300 dollars. 111 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:17.300 John: You know, there are so many boaters that are 112 00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:18.900 trailer boaters. 113 00:04:18.900 --> 00:04:20.900 And I think if the light 114 00:04:20.900 --> 00:04:22.700 is above the water for 115 00:04:22.700 --> 00:04:24.700 too long, you know? 116 00:04:25.700 --> 00:04:28.700 They're afraid of it burning out and that's a pretty expensive feature 117 00:04:28.700 --> 00:04:31.000 to just have burnout on because it got too hot. 118 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.200 Can I run these for a long time 119 00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:34.900 above the water line? 120 00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:36.400 And out of the water?
