Drain Plug LED Light, has anyone installed on Yamaha boat?

[ZGhost]

Interesting idea for those who don’t want to drill holes in their hull. The Q is: has anyone installed this on a Yamaha 242 boat? How do you run the wire thru the drain tubing to exit out of drain inlet? And how do you route this to a dash switch without having wires inside the boat where people walk around since the wire has to exit from a drain inlet? Not described very well in their ad.

What can you comment on in terms of installation tips and performance (brightness, leaking, durability/longevity, etc.)? Thx

See this threat on an FSH, don't think it should be that different on a 242

If the 242 has a keel similar to the 210 it won’t work. The drain plug threads into the keel mounting plate, which is all 1 piece.

If the keel is similar to the 210, it won't fit. I got the measurements from Diablo and it would interfere unless they have made a shorter model. I had to drill and install my light. Love it.

I would get the light that you really want and then drill baby drill. The very first hole that is below the water line is alway the scary one. I have over 20 holes below the water line and one kid then is like 2 inches. Never had a problem with them. No leaks no nothing

Cycle Springs is putting my Transom lights on now I should see them Monday and I will post pictures

The 242X has the integrated keel and its plate. Not sure I want to drill holes in a brand new boat.

@Danielmailin, thanks for the link but the thread unfortunately does not have good description how to fish a line from drain to interior of the boat on a 242 boat but thank you for posting it.

Do you have anymore of these adapters, I'm interested. Was out last night on the water and basically every boat around me had underwater LED's.
