We picked up our 2016 a few months ago and enjoyed it until the weather broke. We have been hard at work making it ours since putting her away.
-We installed 10 blue LED pods
-Replaced all Polks with Kickers and added 2 more.
-Installed 2 Nautique lighted ring cup holders on the swim deck.
-Swapped Clarion head and transom units for Wetsounds units
-Added 3 switches for additional lighting.
-Installed 2 Transom LEDs for underwater lighting.
-Added 6 white LED courtesy lights to the existing courtesy light circuit.
-Added 30" light bar on the wake tower.
Still a few more things to button up and add (GPS, New Steering Wheel, New Digital Speedo Gauge)

We would spend long days on the Chesakeake bay, or the lake by our home. We would have dinner at the local dock bars, and head back around dusk, it would be dark before we would get back to our cove and ramp. Fireworks, airshows, etc... I'm not riding back holding a mag light with this new rig LoL.

Which underwater transom lights did you go with? Did you go with blue or are they RGB?

Where did you purchase your rocker light switches I am looking to replace mine because they faded. And also do they light up when you turn on the light switches on the dash. Any info will help thank you.

I redid all the existing OEM switch covers, and have custom covers coming for the new 3 gang switch panel I just bought. I got the 3 gang panel from Amazon for about $12, and picked up the custom covers here.. https://rockerswitchpros.com/ Yes they do light up. The OEM's light up regular white, the new panel I got light up blue. I'll be buying LED switches from here eventually.
