[QUOTE="thill, post: 495907, member: 4972"] Macintosh, First things, first, these are permanent and last many years, as long as you wire them properly. Battery powered lights are made to fail. They are almost never waterproof, and the batteries WILL die sooner than later. If you look at the flat amber lights I linked above, they are very thin and very tough. Made to live on a trailer. Solid, fused plastic, they are not hollow and are not easy to damage or knock off. They are made to screw or rivet in, and we use that option in some areas. But in many applications, we have been using high strength mounting tape for years with excellent results. The intention should be to mount them in offset areas. Under the top rail of the gunwales facing down is a preferred location. Also under the console facing down, under the lips of storage areas and livewells and so on. The idea is to NOT mount them where they will be blinding you or getting kicked or stepped on. [/QUOTE]
