New LED Fishing Light ( like youve never seen )

[@walker614jw]

Hey Keith. A little change in your shrink wrapping of the wires. Before you shrink it, squirt a dab of silicone in the tubing. Then press it to the center with your fingers, around the bare wire, and then shrink it with your heat gun. That way it will help seal the bare wire inside the shrink tube. If water leaks into the pvc it won't come in contact with the wiring. I do that anytime I'm wiring something at work that is in a wet environment!

[@FishinNStuff]

That's a great idea man . I'll start doing that . But I don't think that light needs it . There's so much silicone in big ends ,,, no way its leading lol

[@papawhelp]

Great idea, Thanks!

[@lindsaymathis2749]

That's the way I do it for my bully netting lights

Best DIY fish light I've seen yet, I was actually considering something similar - saves me the research. Now I have to decide if I want to cannibalise my light, because mine has an adapter for power to go with my Jackery power station. I plan to get into deep cycle batteries and found yours in a 2 pack on Amazon at a nice cost; all my power is renewable anyway so I guess it doesn't matter what I charge, although the goal is to go solar eventually.

[@robertrobles4038]

What size and from where? But a very cool video thank you

[@rider660r]

I bought cig lighter plug&socket from Amazon and used on the ends and added to the boat and just plug them in when I use the lights,fish finder,etc. I have also made a white light just like this to use while bank fishing.I took a lil plastic "ammo can" style box from Amazon and wired in a 9Ah 12v with a cig lighter socket.I also added a eye screw to the top of the light and use a 100' piece of para cord with a 6oz. bank sinker on one end to toss it up over any limbs,tele/TV cable lines to pull the light up to what ever height I want it at...up to 20-25' (length of wire to my battery). A SAE plug will work too.

Thank you Sir

[@jorgedelvalle5569]

I built your second version of the kayak nav light, and had to repair the strip due to corrosion from saltwater. I checked on Amazon not expecting to actually find a large and clear shrink wrap, but ended up finding marine grade with a heat activated glue that seals everyting underneath. The shrink wrap is also thick enough to protect the led strip from getting beat up. It's been perfect for two years so far. Thank you for the awesome videos.

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you Sir for watching

[@transmission612]

Do you happen to have link or part# for the marine grade heat shrink in big enough size for this project?

[@genesloan3175]

Now I like that. I recently discovered my retail float light had the plastic case broken... So I'll be doing a light line like this. The heat shrink tube is great idea.

[@douglasbickel8307]

Not for nothing but big box stores (Home Depot or Lowes or both) sell clear tubing (basically, hose) by the foot for not much money. Certainly less than heat shrink. Just buy tubing first and adjust all other dimensions to it. They also sell barbed push on adapters w thread on other end to allow sealing w a cap. Weights can be added to adapter and cap. Works great. Tubing fairly thick-walled so should cushion fairly delicate leds. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@FishinNStuff]

That's another option for sure , the heat shrink isn't too expensive, the plug really run up the price . I just wanted to try the tubing . The last light I made with nothing and it still works great

I like what you did; especially with the clear heat shrink. Although I have learned (with my bad luck) that I will test the lights BEFORE the heat shrink. Never used something like this but I just got a Crestliner Musky 15 (old boat that I rebuilt) and can't wait until I get to go fishing.

[@FishinNStuff]

You'll like it for night fishing , but make sure to check your state laws on light fishing

[@Dennis_J._Aitken]

@@FishinNStuff Oh I know! WI is kinda strict on many things. Especially these guys who have interior light in their boats that are either red or blue.

Thank you for this video. I bought a green blob from amazon back in 2020 for $300 and it lasted less than a year. I'm going to try and refurbish it using your techniques. Thank you!

[@FishinNStuff]

I will say , the better LED Light you buy the longer they last generally . But honestly I buy cheap lights and tend to get a couple years out of they most the time . Just make sure it's water proof

[@LBZOverlander]

Yea, I thought it was water proof but it’s not. It has that shrink wrap. I think adding a ring of silicone around the top and bottom before heating could help water proof it. Where do yours fail?

2 things. A cigarette light plug installed would allow you to use light and troll motor at same tume #2 Just tie a simple overhand knot in wite to keep it from coming through hole in cap. Awsome light, can't wait to build mine..

[@FishinNStuff]

Your right about the knot . I really think the silicone will hold it any way but I just didn't want to kink the wire . But I love the plug the way I made it fit the way I fish

[@PaulSmith-tf9bn]

Okay, you have convinced me to build one. I'm just trying to catch shad, I hope this helps. Great video thanks.

[@FishinNStuff]

It does attract shad but I usually see shad after I've fished a couple hours . They make huge circles around the light

[@CRDODGE47]

Keith I made two tonight they probably weight bout a pound and half apiece. Stuck a piece of styerfome between the lead tire weight and the wire . Everything else is like the one's you built.

[@benthere8051]

I'm a retired engineer and my specialty was lighting systems for military aircraft. I can convert the 12-volt supply from your battery to 24 volts with a relatively simple circuit. If Fishin N Stuff will contact me I would like to make it available through him. A word of warning - silicone releases acetic acid when it cures. It will corrode copper wiring and will eventually eat through the wires. A safer sealant is hot-melt glue. It won't corrode your electronics and is waterproof.

[@FishinNStuff]

I appreciate the knowledge buddy . If I remake this project again I'll remember that . Ol and my Email is [e-mail] It's in my about section on my page if you ever need it

[@dankrueger6550]

Very good video. We've been doing this for the last 5 years works great!

[@SeattleRingHunter]

7:58 another good practice is to take a plastic wire zip tie and choke the wire snug but not too tight and clip off the excessive tag end. Works as a great stop instead of using Conductive steel wire that could cut into the power lines or rust over time if it gets wet.

For a neat clean install, you can run your trolling motor wires thru the deck near the trolling motor. Then put ring terminals on the wire and put them on the BACK side of the boat plug. No more wires across the bow...unless you plug in your green light to the now-empty trolling motor socket!

[@jboat571x9]

When I made mine, I used one of those cheap 2 prong 15’ light duty drop cords (I think about $4 at Lowe’s) I cut it about 4 foot from the receptacle end and wired that piece to my battery and used the remaining piece with the plug end to connect to the led light. That way I can just plug them together and I don’t have to get all the way in the back of the boat to the battery. It’s convenient also for anything I don’t want to connect permanently to my battery like a bait tank aerator or something, I can just buy another cheap drop cord and install the plug end on it for a quick easy connection.

[@FishinNStuff]

That's a good idea 💡

[@wc164]

[@imtruth69]

If your boat does not have one it is pretty eazy to add an accessory outlet to your boat (ie a cigarette lighter socket.) It can be wired for 12 or 24 volts. It can be used for a lot of different accessories including plugging in your fishing lights.

[@CJNG5903]

Awesome as Always!!

You don't need the PVC end caps. Just tie down both ends of the LED strip and apply the shrink fit. You can clamp the shrink fit on the far end while it's hot and it will seal. You might have to use clear silicone or hot-melt glue on the power end to get it to seal.

[@kamarte]

Very nice idea and built...shrink tube and plug connection were brilliant! One suggestion though, just to be on safe side and mitigating any possible lead, I suggest applying some sealing silicone to both ends of shrunken tube on the caps and then applying two short sleeves of the same shrink tubes on top of the caps so no water could ever dare to sip into! 🤓 Big thanks for your cool works!

[@FishinNStuff]
