Neon Lights on Carver 406 Aft Deck Project

[kgarguilo]

Since I had Neon lights on my houseboats, I knew I needed to find a way to put Neon on this boat. Since the run distance was not as great as the houseboat, I got to use 24V model from Apollo LED

First was figuring out where to place the neon and then how to power them.

Brief Description:
I followed the indented outline on the ceiling part of the aft deck. I used the Flexible Bracket for LED NeonMax to allow for the natural curves and the 39" Bracket for LED NeonMax for the straight runs. Once the track was up on the ceiling (Screwed with small stainless-steel screws) Next, I had to decide either to make cuts to the Neon Strip or make it fit and I found a turn by the TV on each side ended up being the exact length I needed. Next power had to be addressed with a 120V / 24V 350watt output transformer. I needed an outlet and the best solution appeared to be the three cabinets on the Starboard wall that was used for a bar once upon a time. Outlets were already in place. The vented holes in place already made this easier to not worry about heat building up in the closed-door cabinet. Fishing the wire was easier than I thought and the next thing I knew many neighbors were asking about my lights as they loved them.

This project is a little on the expensive side (roughly $900 US dollars) of projects but well worth it for the overall look of the boat. I hope this was helpful.
