Narrator: Welcome back aboard! Fishing for boat improvement?
2
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.400
Well you caught it! Right here at Ship Shape TV.
3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:12.400
John: Here is yet another one of our project boats.
4
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.100
It's our 19 foot Boston Whaler Nantucket.
5
00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:17.100
And recently we've re-powered it,
6
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:19.100
with a very fuel efficient
7
00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:21.100
and environmentally friendly
8
00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:24.000
Evinrude 150 horsepower engine.
9
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.400
And I got to tell you the package together
10
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.400
the boat and the motor looks great at the dock.
11
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.800
But what I'd like to do is have it look
12
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.800
great at the dock at night.
13
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.400
And also add some underwater lighting to it.
14
00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:38.500
Which leads us to our next expert guest.
15
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:40.400
This is Richard Cozier.
Richard: How you doing John?
16
00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:42.400
John: I'm great man. Richard is avery good
17
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:44.600
friend of mine and he is with Perko.
18
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Last year you celebrated your -
19
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.800
your first century
20
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:52.000
being in business making marine parts for boats.
21
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.500
And I've been at your factory a lot of times seeing how stuff gets made.
22
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.100
How many different parts do you make for pleasure boats?
23
00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:00.800
Richard: John we make over 5,000 different items
24
00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:02.800
ranging from battery switches,
25
00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:06.200
through nav lights, to gas fills, to thru-hulls.
26
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.200
John: Okay, and I
27
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.200
see that this underwater light,
28
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.600
is kind of based on the premise of a thru-hull fitting.
29
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.100
Is this bronze?
30
00:01:15.100 --> 00:01:17.100
Richard: Yes it is, cast bronze.
31
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:19.100
John: What type of lamp is on the inside?
32
00:01:19.100 --> 00:01:20.900
Richard: It is a 50 watt
33
00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:22.900
halogen incandescent bulb.
34
00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:24.900
It's a very bright bulb.
35
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:26.700
And you also have a smaller sister of it
36
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:28.200
which is a 30 watt bulb.
37
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.500
35, excuse me.
38
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:32.100
John: This a 35 watt halogen this a 50 watt halogen.
39
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:32.800
Richard: Correct.
40
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:35.500
John: I was learning a little bit about LED lighting.
41
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:39.000
I was kind of hoping to go that direction on the Whaler.
42
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.600
Richard: We have an LED version of the larger light.
43
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.600
In actuality you can purchase
44
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:45.600
the bulb itself from us.
45
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:50.100
And interchange with that version of the incandescent light.
46
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:52.700
However this light does come with two bulbs.
47
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.200
It comes with a 25 degree beam
48
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.700
and a 40 degree beam.
49
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.500
It also comes with interchangeable colored lenses,
50
00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:01.500
that allow you to pop them into
51
00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:03.500
the light underwater
52
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:06.800
and change color from green to blue to white.
53
00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:08.800
John: That's very very cool!
54
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.800
So you change the bulb from the inside of the
55
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.000
boat you never have to do that from the outside of the boat.
56
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.900
Richard: Correct.
John: You can kind of unscrew it,
57
00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.000
change out the bulb if need be.
Richard: Correct.
58
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.300
John: Alright you have LED versions
59
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:21.100
which draw how much power?
60
00:02:21.100 --> 00:02:22.600
Richard: These draw five watts.
61
00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:24.800
And then we have a brand new LED
62
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.000
which is a surface mount.
63
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.700
Which is what I'm recommending for you to install on the 19.
64
00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:30.700
John: Take a look at how much room I have
65
00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:32.900
on the transom underneath the waterline.
66
00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:36.300
That's where you want to put your underwater lights is under the water, okay.
67
00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:38.300
And I really don't want to go with
68
00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:40.300
the thru-hulls. 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?
Richard: Yes you can.
121
00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:39.100
These will not break, they do not get hot.
122
00:04:39.500 --> 00:04:41.100
As you can see you're sitting here holding them
123
00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:42.900
these are illuminated at this point in time.
124
00:04:42.900 --> 00:04:45.500
Take a look at the pictures of the ones we have in the water.
125
00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:47.300
John: A lot of people just want to look cool at the dock.
126
00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:49.100
They're really not into fishing.
127
00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:50.900
But I have little kids and I would love to
128
00:04:50.900 --> 00:04:53.500
throw a shrimp over the back of the boat and have them catch something.
129
00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:55.300
Will these lights attract bait fish?
130
00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:58.100
Richard: Yes they do, they provide the ambiance your looking for.
131
00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:00.900
They provide the bait attraction
132
00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:02.400
at a fraction of the price.
133
00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:05.700
John: Because if you can get bait fish to your boat your gonna get some of those predator fish.
134
00:05:05.700 --> 00:05:07.700
Richard, we're going with them. Thank you so much!
135
00:05:07.700 --> 00:05:09.700
Right now we need to take our last time out of the day
136
00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:11.700
but keep it right here because when we come back.
137
00:05:11.700 --> 00:05:14.900
It's the side-by-side-by-side comparison.
138
00:05:14.900 --> 00:05:16.900
We're gong to illuminate things,
139
00:05:16.900 --> 00:05:18.900
right after this!
140
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:22.400
Narrator: Ship Shape TV will be back in a flash!
