Just wondering if anyone on here has had their boat rub rail replaced with one that has built in black lights. If so did you do it yourself or who done the work ? Thanks for any info.

Rub rail with black lights

I will be installing a bluewater highoutput set this weekend in my rub rail.
Had a buddy that did his. He got a jig from someone to drill the holes. Before I sold my boat it was on my to do list and it was something I was going to do myself. Seemed like it was going to be tedious work but not over my head.
I was just going to purchase a new rub rail with the lights already in it, until I priced it. LOL..... I may purchase the lights and install in my rub rail.

I have seen some of the DIY rub rail installations that looked like crap. They were crooked and uneven. The best looking ones I saw were installed above the rub rail on the fiberglass. You might want to check that out before you decide.
The rub rail has to be removed, holes drilled, part of the rub rail center has to be removed, lights installed, wired, rub rail reattached. It is a lot of work. The over rub rail lights are easier and looked better.

Yeah I have considered this also, this is probably the best way to install the lights. The ones installed in the rub rail are at risk of being damaged if you get up against something.
