Liquid I got mine on Ebay for like $30. It goes in just like a normal drain plug except it has an LED light in it. The wire is pretty long and has alligator clips on the end where you can just attach it directly to your battery. You need one for your kids! Light in the water just adds to the whole experience of magical lake enchantment.

Looks like a good spot BB. How do you change the color if it's wired to the stern light?

You can't. You have to choose the color you want. Otherwise you have to buy a controller. $13.00

Is it a single light or does it split?

Does it look like this: https://www.boatpluglight.com/collectio ... olid-brass

or this:https://www.boatpluglight.com/collectio ... -splitters

Damn it - take a picture please. I'm all over the map here on research... someone please reel me back in.

Liquid if they claim 1,000 lumens it might be worth the extra dough. The one on my old boat doesn't light the water up that much, but it's a cheaper version. And the splitter thingy is kinda cool too. You could put two lights in and still have your drain. With that crystal clear water in the "chosen place" it'll look great!

I think you're right. I'm just unclear on how it hooks up... will go into my research hole and get back to you.

Can anyone find this from a reputable seller without waiting two weeks? It'll be winter here by then.
