I don't know where to post this.....I just picked up a New/Used boat and bought some 7' Blue strip lights and have a couple of Red strips that I never installed that I would like to have installed. I could put them in, but have no idea how to add a switch or have them included when I hit the INT LIGHTS switch. If you are able, send me a PM.
We can discuss terms.
Thanks, Beaver

Don't use the blue lights. It's illegal to display blue lights in Wi.

It is very simple and you should be able to do it in an afternoon. Get a fuse panel and some 1 amp fuses from an auto parts store or fleetfarm. You can get 12V waterproof switches and dimmers for cheap on amazon or ebay. Just do a search on whatever kind of switches you end up using and wiring diagrams will come up. I like the lighted waterproof ones.

If your doing interior lights red is your best option as it doesn't affect your night vision and attracts the least amount of bugs.

Beav- I can help you. give me a call & we can coordinate a date to get it done. We can put them on separate switches, NP.
