Underwater Lights

[Brian S]

I finally got my Ocean LED's installed on my 2520. I need to take some better pics, but these things worked great and brought up a bunch of squid last night.

Got more lobster last night also...(not with the lights)

Very nice! Any specs on the lights you used?
Did you take any project photos when you installed the lights?

The lights are Ocean LED 1520TH in blue. I had them installed by my local Yamaha Service Center. The lights throw a nice beam at a 50 degree angle. They only draw 1.7 amps per light and have tons of power. I think that's the perfect model for the 2520 and this is another time that I am glad to have a notched transom...the squid come right up to the lights and they are really easy to net without a swim platform.

Wow. Looks awesome! These are on my project list.

I once saw a video of the Armstrong Co. factory. The rep had some nice underwater lights (2) that mount on the underside of the hollow part of the bracket. The wires simply run forward thru the transom inside the bracket.

Very cool set up if you are on the market for UW lights and have the Armstrong bracket.

You won't get much light from the drain plug lights...if you are really serious about getting uw lights, you need to spend the $ to get the real deal.

Anymore pics Brian? Thanks. 8)

I thought about that Armstrong bracket type mount awhile ago. There are two angled sides to the bracket that would put the lights at a nice angle.

I also like the idea of two lights in the bottom of the Armstrong bracket. This has got me thinking about another project.

Of course, these are cheap, and require no drilling of holes in the Armstrong bracket or transom: http://www.fishinglightsetc.com/Products.html
