I ran these adhesive backed LED strips around beneath the gunnel (out of sight) and wired to the accessory light on the side of my console. Pulled the bulb on the actual accessory light so I could exclusively use the LED's. I took the strips and cut them down to 3 LED sections, then soldered the wire spacing 2 to 3' apart. Used adhesive backed wire ties to support the wire. I used red LED's which does not attract bugs and also can remain on when driving the boat witout affecting your night vision. Orange or amber might work too but would have more negative impact on what you can see outside the boat.

Also, when I was testing my soldering, I was able to power the whole thing with a 9V battery no problem which is an option for you if you don't have a convenient place to connect power.
