Recessed Bow Light
 

Has anyone installed one of the new stainless recessed bow lights on their CC yet? Wondering how large of a hole you need to drill or router.

Re: Recessed Bow Light
 

I put one on mine, it comes with a template and I'm guessing it's about a 2" x 3" hole. Did mine with a jigsaw, then seal the edges with epoxy.

Looks like a clean setup. Thanks for the picture.

BTY, how easy is it to run new wiring up to the light?

Thanks for the heads up. I actually found that myself the other night and that's what got me thinking, in the first place. Now it's on to wiring, breakers, mast lights, bilge pumps, thru hulls, etc, etc.etc. Rich

I like it, I used the popup cleats and hawsers in the stern, so it makes for a clean setup all around.I had to run the wire up the tower at midship to under the gunnels and then up to the light.

I got a new in the box set of accorn cleats too, off of ebay. I got a real good deal I think, 3 pop up cleats for $90, shipped to my house 3 days later. So keep an eye out for that kind of stuff.

Keep your eyes open for similar type of deals. I missed the ebay auctions last week due to work. I will try to not make that mistake again.

Thanks Dink

Re: Recessed Bow Light
 

here is the light bow light
and here is 4 cleats cleats

Re: Recessed Bow Light
 

sorry first bow light doesnt work try this one bow light

Re: Recessed Bow Light
 

Those cleats are Accons first rendition. The newer ones are shaped different.

Re: Recessed Bow Light
 

With a "buy it now" price of $135, sounds like a good deal. Too bad they're not pull-ups...

First rendition? What do you mean? An older model? I know they offer two models.
What about the bow light?
Dink

Re: Recessed Bow Light

I thought they might have improved the push button mechanism, in the second version. I'm not a big fan of the pop up, since it would be something else to fail but, at the right price, I'd jump at em'. Has anyone had problems with the button version?

Re: Recessed Bow Light
 

I used the "Lift and Lock" version. No springs. I attached a drain tube along with one from the bow light and the water drains outside vs in the bilge. You can also see the wiring. It connects to the recessed bow light with quick disconnects and then runs under the gunnels then under the deck and up to your switch panel [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
